When I decided to sell my Elecraft K2 #7750, it was after weeks of
deliberation. Since I am relocating to a senior’s apartment complex and
will not be allowed a traditional ham station set up, a choice had to be
made: it was either keep my K2 #7750 or my KX2 #1098. I must confess it
was a difficult choice. I decided on keeping the KX2, because I rather
enjoy P.O.T.A. type operations. The KX2 being more self-contained made
the choice easier. Using the Elecraft AX-1 antenna system also made set
ups easier. I can carry the whole station in a Harbor Freight tool case.
I have more mode choices with the exception of FT8. I enjoy RTTY and CW
more than FT8. The result: my Elecraft K2 #7750 has to go.
When I built K2 #7750 it was intended to be a CW only station with
computer control so only the KIO2 option was included. I document all my
builds. You can see the complete documented build on my web site at
<http://www.ww5rc.com/KITS/K2-7750/7750.html>.
I had some issues with the build, so I sent it to Alan Wilcox who fixed
the issue, aligned it, and also built and installed the KIO2 option for
me. Then FT8 came along, so W5LA (Jim Ragsdale) built and installed the
KSB2 option for me as I no longer felt qualified to do the work.
From Jan 24th until June 12th I made over 2,500 FT8 QSO's, including
over 500 QSO's as a W5L special event station with K2 #7750 and various
wire antennas: an 80/40 trap inverted vee and a 40/20 trap inverted vee
@ 75'. All with this K2 #7750. Sideband operation is also available,
however you will have to supply the
microphone.
I am offering my Elecraft K2 #7750 for sale for a reduced price of
$700.00, including USPS Priority Mail shipping.
No need to clutter the reflector, so PLEASE reply off the list.
