All,
My wife and I are discussing Christmas gifts for the coming season. I
feel that some additional Elecraft hardware should in order. But the
decision is difficult because I am not up to date with the latest kits
and modifications.
Christmas 2002 I received the KPA100 for my K2 SN #1308. This kit has
yet to be built. We moved soon after that Christmas and the new house
had no natural kit building area. Bad move on my part but it is now
corrected.
I built a new shack in my back yard that was designed for storage,
hobbies and kit building. I have been back on the air for the last six
months and now the shack is ready for kit building.
My K2 currently is configured with these kits and modifications:
K2# 1308
KSB2
K160RX
KAF2
KIO2
KNB2
KAT2
KBT2
Lifted T2 Mod for 10 Meters
PSK31 mod for KSB2
Sinewave Sidetone Mod
Better grounding of crystals X7-X11
Rewiring from balanced to unbalanced audio pot
Improved version of 2nd stage Crystal filter mod
Replaced L33 with inductor wound on a core.
In looking at my KPA100 kit and I have the "Rev A, May 13 2002" manual.
I think that I should get the following before starting the kit.
Download the latest Manual.
KPA100MODKT - Improves high SWR operation
KPA100SHLDKT - Shield Upgrade: Since it was shipped in 2002.
E100075SS - K2 Rear Panel Upgrade: I will get the K60XV in the future.
Maybe updated firmware since it came with K2MCU 2.03d.
What other kits should I get to reduce rework on the KPA100? What
other essential modifications should be done while I have the radio
apart?
Thank you,
Paul Guido
N5IUT K2# 1308
