Re: [Elecraft] K2 SSB ALC Problem

Hello Don, hello Peter, I tried the mod suggested by Peter but it did not really help. It seems to me that the ALC action is now somewhat better without the KPA100 attached but I am still not really sure about that - will check again. Don do you have any other suggestions what I could try to do

Re: [Elecraft] K2 SSB ALC Problem

Hello Don, hello Peter, I tried to transmit in a dummy load before the effect was the same. In fact I did almost all the testing with a dummy load. Just tried what you suggested, set requested power to 4 Watts and transmitted CW in a 20 W dummy load through my Wattmeter - I do not have an Oscill

Re: [Elecraft] K2 SSB ALC Problem

Hello Peter, I have seen your suggested mod in the Summary of K2 Mods Document on your Site before but was not sure if I should do it since the behaviour is the same weither the KPA100 is connected or not. Dankeschön für deinen Input! 73, Sanjin E71DX -- View this message in context: http://e

Re: [Elecraft] K2 SSB ALC Problem

Hello Don, thanks a lot for taking you time! I have SSB-A set to 1 but I can get a lot ALC action very easily. My KSB2 Board is a Revision D with firmware 1.08 and there is no additional transistor around U5 on the top or the bottom side of the board. I do have an KPA100/KAT100 in an EC2 enclos

[Elecraft] K2 SSB ALC Problem

Hi All, I have a K2 which I bought used. I never really used it on SSB but from time to time would like to. The problem is when I transmit (Mic is the Elecraft MH2) I get very hard ALC action which jumps to full ALC scale reading. I tried to "inject" (via the Mic in a quiet room) a constant mod

Re: [Elecraft] Random Wire from KAT2

Hi Nick, I'm currently using my K2 QRP with the internal tuner and a few meters of wire strung out the window. It's connected directly to the K2 via a BNC-banana adapter like you do with your KX-1 and works OK for me, I even made a few 160m QSO-s. I also do have something like a dipole cut for 7
