Can anyone give me some clue as to whether there is some sort of forum
somewhere where I can get information on the disassembly of an old Kenwood dual
band rig? I know what the problem is electronically, but I can't get the
bleepy blank circuit board out of the unit.
Much obliged.

Hi folks. Remember my last post about how the K1 I built in the spring and the
KAT1 I built just now worked great, thereby depriving me of some "fun"
troubleshooting? Well, you're NOT going to believe this.
Since it really had no bearing on the story, I neglected to mention that I had
a K1 t
Well, it has happened again. When I started building my K1 in the spring, I
was all ready to enjoy the benefits of a pool of very knowlegeable people to
help me diagnose the problems I would have. So what happened? It worked
perfectly from the start, and I didn't have to ask for help. This w
Hi everyone,
I have been enjoying my K1-4 immensely for many months now, and am getting
ready to build the KAT-1. But I decided to build my OHR WM-2 first, so as to
get a good idea of how the antenna tuner is actually performing. Well, the
meter went together on a Sunday afternoon/evening ver
Somewhat OT, but can someone email me off-list a few of my options for small
paddles for my K1 field ops? I believe there is something like White Rook, or
some such? Please don't tell me about handmade stuff. I do not do well with
small, home-made items.
Is the KX1 paddle a viable option?

I've been meaning to ask about this for months. Not continuously, but
consistently, there is a CW signal which just sends the letter "d" over and
over, with an occasional other letter. This goes on day and night literally at
any time. Now today at about 7038 I hear my old "d" friend, and now
Nothing earth shattering here. BUT. I just worked EA6UN on 40M at abt 0040
with 2W out of my K1-4 (s/n:1977) Granted I was using a 40M dipole up at 55
feet, but I was 569 there and he answered me on my FIRST CALL. I have
literally gotten the operating bug again from this radio. I know I'll
Well, I am still learning some of the subtlies of its operation, but K1-4 S/N:
1977 is on the air. First contact was with K8SYH/4 in Virginia.
He was operating the Virginia QSO party, but it made no matter. He was loud

The only minor problem I have is power on 30M is ab
Hi everyone.
Just to let you all know K1-4 S/N:1977 is coming along beautifully, receiver
tests and alignments were fine, and now I am assembling the last of the
transmitter on the control board.
I would like to float an idea here just to get honest and helpful feedback.
Due to the nature of what
As I mentioned in an earlier message, K1-4 S/N:1977 is coming along. I do
have some questions/observations which I would like to put out here.
Having done a few of the toroids now, I have noticed some things. I am NOT
having that much trouble stripping/tinning the leads, but I notice
sometimes, no
Little by little, we are getting there. I have conducted numerous tests,
including the first "power applied" test, and EVERYTHING is perfect.
I have a few pix here http://home.hvc.rr.com/kr2f/kr2f_K1-4.html
I'm looking forward to the true test coming up soon.

Just for the record, everyone. I heard Ed on 40M CW from the "Rock" but he was
Q1 to occasionally Q2, so I couldn't work him. I did, however, hear EVERYBODY
else talking to him very well! Oh well, next time ;-)

I realize that you may not have seen my original post in its entirety as you
may have read a cut version within someone else's reply to me. I did use the
DMM and in my overtired stupor managed to actually misinterpret what I saw. I
even made a phone call to Gary, and while on the line, I reali
Perhaps I am reading something wrong here, but...
The new trimmers are correctly identified in the "Manual Errata", and it
mentions they have a different shape from the old ones. It says the narrow
flattened end of the new ones correspond to the flat side as shown in the
manual's figure1. So
Hi gang,
My first question in the building of K1-4 s/n:1977.
Since R8 of the Front Panel Board was not what it was supposed to be (I got a
220 OHM instead of a 22 OHM), I figured I'd pick it up at the local Radio
Shack. Well, I did, and it is a 22 OHM, 5% tolerance. But the unit calls for
a
Having worked in electronics for over 25 years, I want to compliment Elecraft
on the parts packing for my K1-4. In all of the parts in this kit, including
the 4 band module kit, the only discrepancy was R8 on the Front Panel Board
which is supposed to be a 22 Ohm, was instead sent as a 220 Ohm.
Hey folks!
Quickly, K1 serial #1977 is just about fully inventoried, and the construction
will soon begin. But that is not why I am here now.
Is it me, or is there something amiss with the links to the "Cheap and Dirty
Signal Tracing" for both the K1 and the K2? When I click on them, I get ju
Well, I finally did it. I ordered my K1-4 today. Just thought I'd introduce
myself so when I start pounding the reflector with my problems, you would know
who I am!
Pleased to meet you.
Talk to you soon.

Hi everyone.
I have been on and off the list for a while, and I have just gotten back on,
because I think I might finally be ready to get started on a K1. I have one
question for now (although, I am sure that number will increase within a month
or so. Due to limited $$$ up front, I am thinkin
