I have finally collected enough birthdays that I can no longer do SOTA,
POTA, and other outdoor RF activities so I have decided to sell my
K2/10, S/N 4398 and associated stuff. I'd sort of like to do it as a
complete QRP/Field package:
--K2/10 [kit] built about 2006 or 2007. SSB adapter but never got a mic
for it
--4 ah LiFePO4 battery [A123]
--Cell balancing charger [runs on 12V] will charge other chemistries too
--Logging clipboard with integrated AME mini-paddle
--A couple of lightweight headphones
--Custom canvas carrying case by Rose
--AlexLoop mag loop antenna
--Custom canvas carrying case for the loop by Alex
--Tripod for ant
--~25 W outdoor solar panel with no-noise charge controller [will likely
need a new SLAB]
The battery has all green electrons in it, I've always charged it on a
solar panel, in case you're going for a renewable energy bonus. The
solar panel was a gift to me from a friend so it's free to whoever buys
the rest of this. The battery is about 10 years old.
The K2 was last serviced and aligned by Don. I never got a mic for it
but I used it extensively on AFSK RTTY for awhile. Full Disclosure:
One short trace on the RF board is jumpered, I used to have the KPA 100
W amp [on the top] and it is possible to reverse the two molex plugs
from the amp to the K2 RF board. If something is possible, I will do
it, and it destroyed the little short trace so I jumpered it.
The tripod came from Home Depot supporting an impulse sprinkler. It was
very portable before I got so old but I wouldn't recommend lugging it to
the top of a hike-up summit. Drive-up/to locations are fine. It will
hold the loop over your shoulder so you can reach up to tune it.
I can ship the K2 package, loop, battery, and charger but I would really
prefer a pickup in Sparks NV. The tripod and solar panel must be
pickup. I don't travel very far anymore [see excessive # of birthdays].
I'm a bit at a loss to price it, I've certainly gotten the value from my
original investment, and I'm open to offers. I'm also open to major
discounts for a new ham, maybe a kid(?), needing a first rig, it
wouldn't be the first radio I've re-purposed that way.
