[Elecraft] Using the K2's 10th S-meter LED for CW Tuning indication

Folks: For those of you who have (or will build) a CW Tuning Indicator which uses an LED as it's indicator, I think I have managed to document the correct installation of the device within the K2, using the 10th S-meter LED as the indicator. Thanks to several folks for their replies to my in

Re: [Elecraft] Using the K2's 10th S-meter LED for CW Tuning indication

Hi Joe: I believe you said you preferred the K6XX design over KR5L, so my current thinking is to build the K6XX version. I don't know why I want to build the tuning indicator because I do alright with matching tones using the K2 SPOT function. Would you care to share why you haven't built th

Re: [Elecraft] Using the K2's 10th S-meter LED for CW Tuning indication

Hi Tom: This sounds like a great addition to the K2. Is its purpose to indicate a zero beat? Actually, to indicate "CLOSE TO ZERO BEAT"...usually +/- 20 or so Hz. Your post sounds as if there are already some CW tuning indicators out there and that you have developed a way to incorporate th

[Elecraft] QUESTION to the Group re. where to install the CW Tuning Indicator

Folks: A question has been raised which I cannot (yet) answer. Though I hope to be able to answer it soon... If you installed the CW Tuning Indicator PC board in a fully-appointed K2 (KPA100,KSB2/KNB2/KDSP2), WHERE did you wind up placing it? I'm already considering an SMD version of the de

[Elecraft] Library of SMD device footprints?

Hi Folks: Still mulling over the possibility of designing a PC board an SMD version of the K6XX LED CW Tuning Indicator. One problem I've immediately encountered is that the SMD device (from NJM) is listed as a DMP14 package for which I can find NO footprint information at all. If anyone h

[Elecraft] Progress Report - Updated install info for LED CW Tuning Indicator using the K2's 10th S-meter LED

Hi folks: Well, after about 4 years of having sold the PC boards for either the KR5L or the K6XX LED CW Tuning Indicator, I finally got around to building one for myself and test-fitting it into my (loaded) K2. First, and most important... IT FITS!!! But barely! Secondly, IT WORKS... and bet
