Lost K-2

This is a repeat of a message I sent out several months ago. I'm paying the price for having parted with my K-2. I'm trying to buy it back but I can't find it. If anybody can help, please consider this message and get in touch with me directly. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

————————————————————

K-2 Sale

All this talk about K-2’s makes me homesick for the one I built shortly before my retirement (Serial #5529). I spent an entire summer carefully following the instructions and created an astonishing radio. Sometime after that, the lure of the K-3 took over and I sold my K-2 to finance the purchase of a K-3. While I have enjoyed the K-3 and still use it regularly, I'm sorry to have parted with my K-2.

If anyone out there knows who has my old K-2 please contact me off-list. I’d like to discuss reacquiring the radio. If you tell me you have the radio but it’s not for sale, just tell me how it’s doing.

No, no. You can’t get away that easy. Tell us what you did so we can learn. We won’t laugh at you... Oh no, we won’t laugh.

Re: K3S -Low Audio Output

I plugged in an Icom mic. Once I pulled it out, the audio came to life.

Hahaha?

The three JA mfrs use the same mic connector but different pin
connections, making them incompatible. Elecraft adapted one of them,
don't recall which. Pinout is in Elecraft manuals.

Kenwood, 8 pin round but use the K3/S menu to turn the 'button' feature off.

Re: K3S -Low Audio Output

Nope. O menu to activate buttons. Elecraft and Kenwood use same audio and PTT. Buttons are on different pins. Menu to turn Bias On/Off depending on mic used.
