[Elecraft] xv144 with tentec argo v

Hi: I got to page 59, Aligmnent Part 1. The voltage between TP3 and TP4 was 7 mV and did not change. Is anybody out there using a transverter with this same rig? If so, could you pls reply off list? This might take me a while to sort out. thanks, VE8JJ _

[Elecraft] K2/100, s/n 4886, Q3

Hi: It was an accident. I killed Q3, the MJE182 NPN transistor. Q4 survived, but are Q3 and Q4 a matched pair, in the same way that Q1 and Q2 are? In other words, should I be extra careful ordering spares and replace them both, or will just replacing the broken part be fine? jh ___

[Elecraft] k2, s/n 5171, alignment and test, part iii

Hi: re: page 75, "40-meter transmitter alignment", current drain during "TUNE" at 10 watts is between 2.2 and 2.3 amps. Should I be concerned? re: page 76, receiver pre-alignment, 80 meters, I had a hard time peaking L3 and L4. peaking the other bands was easy by comparison. re: page 77, transm

Re: [Elecraft] KPA100 J8 standoffs

Hi: Everything went together flush, square and true, if I do say so myself. I should have mentioned that I can get the standoff just barely threaded into the retaining nut, by a quarter turn or less. Not really enough to ensure that it stays fastened. It's the thickness of the plastic flange

[Elecraft] KPA100 J8 standoffs

Hi: The standoffs that hold J8 (the DB9 connector) to the back panel aren't long enough. They don't reach to the threads on the nuts. Has anybody else had this problem? jh ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscri

[Elecraft] K2 s/n 4886 assembled

Hi: No doubt this is old hat to some 5000 of you out there, but I have just made it to the end of Chapter 7, so consider this one built. The first thing that ever popped up on my display was INFO 80, and there were times when I wondered if I might turn 80 before reaching page 80. But I did it, and

Re: [Elecraft] k2 s/n 4886, cap C45, page 65

Hi: On my board, that extra hole that I referred to is almost underneath the relay, and it intersects the silkscreen outline of C45. Nowhere near the ends of the oval outline like all of the other caps, so I figured that it didn't apply, but I just wanted to make sure. I was just a bit leery of us

[Elecraft] k2 s/n 4886, cap C45, page 65

Hi: Similar to cap C6 on page 57, do I install cap C45 in the outer two of the three holes? The marked outline suggests that, but that middle hole seems placed ideally for the lead spacing of the supplied part. 73, VE8JJ ___ Elecraft mailing list Post t

[Elecraft] KIO2 module inductors, K2 sn 3460

I guess that I should have asked this question a while ago, but is there a polarity associated with those sub-mini RF chokes, the little inductors that look like resistors? The outline on the board has a pair of lines across it, slightly offset from the midpoint. I wonder if it means something.

[Elecraft] k2 sn 3460 VCO alignment

From the ongoing drama that is Alignment and Test, Part 2: Pages 57, 58. My hopes for a unit totally free of desoldering were dashed when I found that I had put a "27" cap in C72. On a happy note, replacing it with the proper "271" cap brought the TP1 freq down from 12 MHz down to just above 8 M

[Elecraft] k2 alignment and test part 2

I have made it to page 57, "PLL Reference Oscillator Range Test". My high Freq is 12098.42 low freq is 12085.21 Range = 13.21 kHz So the range is not between 9.8 and 13 kHz, and I must "refer to Troubleshooting". I'm stumped. To exactly where in the Troubleshooting section are they referring? Si

[Elecraft] z5 resonator leads

Hi folks: "The excitement is building." K2 s/n 3460 and I have made it as far as page 46. Who would have thought that an instruction manual would be such a page turner? During "Alignment and Test, Part 1" Info Code 080 pointed me to a problem with the Z5 ceramic resonator: I forgot to put it in. T

[Elecraft] k2 control board r18, r19

Hi folks: The quest to transform K2 S/N 3460 into something greater than the sum of its parts has finally begun in earnest. I am working on the Control Board right now. I just want to confirm the assembly instructions: R18 and R19 are basically resistors with value of 0 (zero) ohms. So you solde
