I'm finally getting around to using my K2 on 160 mtrs - is the idea of the K2 that a separate receiving antenna for 160 mtrs can be attached to the bnc connector on the back (K160RX option) while using the regular bnc connector to connect to the 160 mtr antenna for transmitting? - one switches to the receiving antenna from the front panel using ANT1/2? - 72 Bruce. 72/73 - Bruce ve5rc/ve5qrp - QRP-C#1, QRP-L#886, A1 Operator Enter QRP-Canada's "RUN with RAC" contest - details - http://www.qrp-canada.com _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Hi Bruce
No, Ant1/Ant2 is for selecting two main antennas. You have a menu option for R2 On/Off, or you can program one of the two option buttons to select the R2 On/Off menu item, then just punch the top left panel button to toggle between On and Off. I find that faster than turning the knob. The K2 works very well with separate receiving antennas on 160m. I use the Flag loop here, plus a rotatable tuned loop. The Flag actually works FB through 40m. You can find a ton of Flag loop info at http://www.angelfire.com/md/k3ky/page37.html Good luck and 73 Bob N6WG The Little Station with Attitude -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]]On Behalf Of rattray Sent: Thursday, October 27, 2005 10:02 AM To: Elecraft Subject: [Elecraft] K2 - 160 mtrs I'm finally getting around to using my K2 on 160 mtrs - is the idea of the K2 that a separate receiving antenna for 160 mtrs can be attached to the bnc connector on the back (K160RX option) while using the regular bnc connector to connect to the 160 mtr antenna for transmitting? - one switches to the receiving antenna from the front panel using ANT1/2? - 72 Bruce. 72/73 - Bruce ve5rc/ve5qrp - QRP-C#1, QRP-L#886, A1 Operator Enter QRP-Canada's "RUN with RAC" contest - details - http://www.qrp-canada.com _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
