F/S: KDSP2 Assembled Board & Manual

[Jim / W6JHB]

Hi All - I've got a KDSP2 assembled DSP board and accompanying manual for sale. I posted it on eBay a few minutes ago as a three day auction. It'll close on Friday evening, May 7 at 7:50 pm PDT or so, unless someone grabs it via the Buy It Now (BIN). Starting bid is $145, BIN is $189. The eBay item number is 230470632840.

Link to the auction is:

Thanks for your interest!!

Hi Jim,

A couple of notes ...

1) when you ship the board to it's new owner, be sure to include the hex
standoff/spacer.

2) unless the buyer has built his/her K2 so that it is "option ready" for
the KDSP2 he/she, will need to purchase the two mating jacks (CTRL-J1 and
J2).  These two jacks -- A.K.A. "Rework Eliminator(TM) Aux Filter Jacks" --
are available from http://www.unpcbs.com/ for $1.20 plus $2.25 S&H via 1st
Class Mail postage, or $5.50 via USPS Priority Mail postage.

Gary - thanks for bringing this to my attention - I'd have never thought about it!! I "may" have all three components already - need to check the parts bag in the morning. Otherwise I'll get those jacks ordered ASAP and be sure they are included in the KDSP2 package.

Thanks & 73, Jim / W6JHB

Jim,

    I only mentioned this because a few months ago someone was trying to
obtain one of the hex spacers on the Reflector.  Thus, I assumed they had
purchased a second-hand KDSP2 and the seller did not include the spacer.
This is expected for options like the K60XV and the K160RX, since removing
those spacers would require significant disassembly for the seller.
However, the spacer for the KDSP2 is simple to remove.

    As far as the two jacks are concerned, most sellers would leave that
purchase up to the buyer, especially if you don't have them on hand.  I
suggest that is the best approach given that (since 2006) many K2s have been
built "option ready" from the start.  Thus they already include these two
jacks.

The 1/2" hex spacer and 1/4" 4-440 mounting screw WILL be included in the package. I've ordered the two jacks and expect them to be here Friday or Saturday. While they might not be needed by all K2 owners, I'd hate for someone to buy the KDSP2 board and then find out there are no jacks on the K2's control board to mount it to! Wouldn't make for a happy customer. And besides, it only cost me a couple bucks.

That being said, the "Buy It Now" option for the KDSP2 has gone away, as someone has placed a bid. I'm hoping this person is a valid buyer, as he has a zero feedback score and is located in Romania. If it is someone from this list, I'd like to hear from him/her, just to make me feel a little more comfortable...!

Jim,

As the seller, I believe you can directly query the bidder to verify his
intentions.

In fact, you can probably bar all bidders with less than 10 points, for
example, and allow them to bid only if approved by writing to you.

You took some nice pictures ...

Cheers,
Alan

Hi Alan -

Yep, I've had several email exchanges with the bidder, YO3AIZ - all is fine with his bidding. He's got what he believes is the only K2 in Romania!!!

Tnx about the pix. Good equipment helps offset a bad photographer!
