Sorry if this is a dupe, I tried to send it earlier but had the wrong 'from' address. I do not beleive it made it to the list.
73 de N0SO ============= Greetings, Just completed the final assembly of K2 s/n 4757 (the basic kit). I was very pleased that it went together without any problems except the long time delay between when it was ordered (March, 2005) and when I completed assembly (last night). A family crisis, now resolved, caused the long delay. Not being able to locate my dummy load, I rigged one from the resistors on hand and had to limit power output to 2 watts or less during the alignment and test, so I need to do a little more testing this evening (after locating the dummy load) and then I hope to put the rig on the air. I'm very pleased with the rig so far -- it went together well, the receiver performed very well with the test lead wire I had clipped to the antenna input and it's easy to operate once you read the directions. I consider myself a happy K2 owner. I've been a lurker on this list until now, but I certainly have been appreciative of the assembly tips, etc. that I've read. I'm sure they helped me avoid some of the more common mistakes. Thanks everyone! Perhaps I'll be able to check into the net next week with my new rig! Now on to the KSB2 and KPA100. I'm thinking of putting the KPA100 in a separate enclosure. 73 de Mike, N0SO _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
