K2 Serial 906 returns...
Locked
 
|
OK, got to share with you folks a new one for me.
Many of you know that I love to trade radios. Someday.. I may even trade off s/n 5702, which is a K2/100 but.. not just yet for that much wanted KX3... Today, I got an opportunity to purchase another K2. I was told that the guy worked for Motorola and was the original owner (by the guy I got it from). Lo and behold… I got my first and original K2 back. I recall every minute of building it! I did not even open up the radio, I know that radio as if I built it today. Oh, according to Madeline …. I built it February 2000. S/N 906 is back on the desk….. Fingers crossed… I keyed it into a dummy, still… 12 watts on 10.116 (I keep records) It gets better… I tried to see what was programmed in it for MSG 1-9, guess what…. It still .. .had my CQ in it with my call!! in MSG 1 So.. on the air it goes.. I am listening to on 10.116 if anyone wants to “drop by” today... Frank KG9H K2 #906 K2/100 #5702 ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

Incredible, Fred. I keep thinking I should sell
my K2 (#380) -- with all options including KDSP2, KPA100 & KAT100, and all updates - even the MAB and Mic adapter board -- but each time I consider it the nostalgia sets in: Loved building it. OTOH -- with an all up K3 system and a KX3/PX3 for portable, the K2 tends to just sit there. Guess I'm "Over Elecrafted" :-) 73, Phil W7OX p.s. -- And I forgot the KX1 and K1, both 4-band units!

Over Elecrafted!
Me too with the full K-Line, a KX3 and my K2, all built from kits. I just can't part with my K2, a great nostalgia build yes including winding all toroids, but one had to go. Sold my KX3 ! Forgotten just how good the K2 receiver is, amazing and sounds so sweet! 73, Deni - F5VJC On 6 January 2015 at 20:47, Phil Wheeler <[hidden email]> wrote: > Incredible, Fred.
