Re: [Elecraft] K160Rx protection

Hans, The K2 RX ANT is injected at the same point after the T/R switch and before the Low Pass Filter, so any energy from the transmit antenna will not harm the K2 during transmit, although it may add to the RF level going into the LPF and be amplified by the KPA100. 73, Don W3FPR On 4/1/20

Frank, Don't forget that in addition to the K160RX board, you will need the capacitors for the 80/160m bandpass filter, the standoff, the header (it is taller than normal) and the BNC jack. There is more to the K160RX kit than just the board. The Elecraft kit has all the components required

Dan, First try a simple solution - turn the power control back to 12 watts and try a TUNE. If you still get HiCur messages, then check the low pass filter on the K160RX carefully - count the number of turns on the toroids - each pass of the wire through the center of the core counts as one turn

Hank, Read the K160RX errata sheet - it tells you not to do the CAL PLL on 160 meters. The display you received is quite normal when attempting CAL PLL on any band except 40 meters, so no harm done. The frequency that is briefly displayed the the frequency of the VCO output (read from TP1). It

Hi Hank, Look at the Errata for your module. I always incorporate the errata into the manual before I start building, just to make sure I don't miss anything. If you didn't get the errata you can download it from Elecraft's website. In any case, it states that you don't need to do the firs

David, To repeat the old adage - check soldering, then re-check soldering, and when that is done, check the soldering. In particular, look for too much solder causing solder bridges. Plug the K160RX into the K2 and select any band other than 160 meters - then power off and check the resistan

Bryan, This is a residual step left over from the old days when CAL PLL was to be performed on all bands - it is no longer required, CAL PLL is only done with the K2 set to 40 meters - and as you experienced it will report an error if you attempt it on 160. Simply skip that step in the K160R
