K2

[n1szz]

I just purchased a used K2 which was only CW mode only with 100 watts mod, I assembled and istalled the SSB kit. My problem is I canot xmit. The mic does not key.. I need some expertise to have my K2 in top notch condition. I need the K2 gurus that may have some free time to help me. It will probably have to be shipped and looked at.. HELP..  Larry, N1SZZ

Does your vox work?


And can you use the dit from the cw side to key your ssb?



I had a similar issue where the jumper for my microphone had a bad solder joint.

  Larry,

Does CW transmit work?  If so, check the input to KSB2 U1 pin 6 - it
should be low with either the closure of the dot paddle or the mic PTT
switch.

If it does not go low with either, then you have a connection problem
between the Dot line and the KSB2 board input on P1 pin 4, but if it
responds to the dot paddle but not the mic PTT switch, you have either a
problem with the microphone or the plugging of the microphone
configuration header on the front panel board.
