Hi Don,
The only reason I voiced a bit of disappointment, is Elecraft is known
for their attention to detail when they take on a product design.
When they produced a line of transverters for the K2 I would have
thought they'd upgrade the K2 firmware to add adjustable rf onset
delay. They ce
Lenny,
Yes, this was a design "oversight" for the K2 - I will not call it a
problem, since the focus was for an HF transceiver that would do QSK
operation, and do it quite well.
Unfortunately, that goal is not consistent with those who use
transverters and mast mounted preamps. The paramete
I faced this issue just recently with a K2 and my homebrew 2M
transverter when putting a used 550 W dual 4cx250 power amp into service.
In the long run its best to make the mod to the K2 Don W3FPR outlines on
his web page and I intend to do so some time soon. But as a quick hack

Bob,
No you cannot vary the K2 KEY (or PTT) closure to the onset of RF
timing. It is quite close to 15 ms.
Your best solution IMHO is to first key the sequencer and then use the
output of the sequencer to operate the K2 PTT.
That works for modes except CW. If you are using CW, the K2 alwa
Second question.
I am using my K2 and XV-144 as my EME rig. I take the output of the
transverter key jack and feed it to my sequencer, which then sends the
appropriately delayed signals to my amp ( 750 watts ) and my T/R relays
and preamp at the tower.
My question is this:
Can I slow down the
