10 meters open -- possibly even 6 m

[wayne burdick]

Hearing lots of beacons on 10 meters. This usually means an opening --
should be fun. Also hearing a few signals on 6 meters. Anyone else?

As of 1504 today: SFI=86, A=0, K=2  GOES 12 X-ray flux (1.0 - 8.0A) was
7.0E-8.  I'm hearing a few weak beacons on 10, nothing on 6

All,

Because my K2 is on the bench at the moment - in
pieces - I fired up the Radio Shack HTX-10 which was
in the closet and went mobile with the 102" stainless
steel whip this early evening. Had a near QSO with a
NC station, and heard lots of 4-land beacons around
7:30 PM local. Not a wide open band, but enough to get
my 10-meter juices flowing.

Now I know that using a RS rig instead of a K2 is kind
of like renting a Yugo when the Mercedes is in  the
shop but hey - one must work with what one has at any
given time :)

While I am writing this e-mail - does anyone have info
on in-circuit testing the suspect headphone jack of my
K2 with a multimeter before I go ahead and do the
desoldering job? (I am getting no audio out of the
internal speaker even though the speaker tests OK so I
suspect the headphone jack)

Joel,

Certainly you can check the headphone jack with a continuity test.  You
should find continuity between the 'hot' side of P5 (pin 1 - closest to the
side panel) and one end of R35 and R36 (the wrong end may show you about 82
ohms).  If you find no continuity, then try resoldering the pins of the
headphone jack making certain you heat the pins themselves (they do not
stick above the board surface) - it is possible to have a cold solder joint
because only the pad was heated because the iron was not on the pins.

Check the schematic for the RF Board sheet 1 in the lower left corner, the
paths around the headphone jack should not be that difficult to decipher.
