Remember that Elecraft K2 that we got at the hamfest? How good is it really? Let's go in depth on the deal, power it up and see what it does! Do we need to make a punch list for repairs and start getting out the catalogs or are we getting on the air right away?

Thanks for looking at the K2. You got a good deal. Mine is barefoot and I use the T-1 tuner. I built it when I was relicensed after many years, just for the 'real hams build their rigs' experience. (I was originally licensed in 57!) It was NOT easy. Especially the 17 toroids. Before I even finished it I bought an IC-703 which were being discontinued, then got a KX3 which I still use today. So my K2 is virtually unused. Of course the KX3 is superb, but I have heard that the K2 has better ears and audio. It was close to the top of the Sherwood list when it came out. So I look forward to your assessment, 72

The SSB is the hardest module to build. It's pretty tight but doable.

@larrytaylor7753 Год назад
Yes, plug a 20 Amp source to the power pole connector and a low amp source in the other. If your high power source dies (battery), the radio switches to 10 watts and you are still on the air.. You wire the mic connector based on the mic you will be using.

Exactly!

If you set an antenna for a band (IE you have an 80m dipole, and a 40 through 10. You can set the radio to automatically switch antenna ports when you go to that band.

Yes, it was left that way from the previous owner and I wasn't expecting it. There is also a Receive Only antenna

@@temporarilyoffline I'd like that but the big boss would freak out if I had to bring back a big radio. Haha I'm hoping to visit my son and daughter in-law in Virginia later this year before they come home. Radio prices are high here as there is little competition and used ones get pounced on straight away. I'll definitely be getting something this year though. :) I'm looking forward to seeing more vids on the K2.👍

@markusberg2770
@markusberg2770 Год назад
Maybe the radio (without a tuner) will produce 110 watts if power is dumped into a 50 ohm RF load? Some non-commercial builds are not limited by the technician’s knowledge, but the availability of proper alignment equipment. If the LC network is not perfect, there could be a significant waste in power. Just a thought.
@temporarilyoffline
@temporarilyoffline Год назад
@@markusberg2770 I think you nailed it Markus - sometimes I get excited by new shiny and I forget a step here and there. I can see on 40m the tuner wasn't showing 1:1 and that steals some power for sure!

@@markusberg2770 There's a calibration process, probably needs re-doing. Not sure what the accuracy of the wattmeter is either, there are many factors at play.
