RE: K2 and Digital Modes

[Gary McKelvie]

Hi to the list,

Thanks to every one that replied to my query about the K2 and Digital modes.
It was pretty much what I wanted to hear.
I've now ordered my kit and am looking forward to receiving it so
that I can get started on building this radio.
So apologies to those that replied either to me on or off the list I
usually reply far quicker than this.
once again Thanks for the info much appreciated.
Will no doubt be back in touch when I run into a problem :)
Several people have suggested to remote the 100w PA so I'll no doubt
go that way and I've been following the recent thread in the list on
doing that.
i now wish i had ordered a separate enclosure.
Currently no plans to get the AATU that might just be an idea for a
birthday/Xmas present.

I never run any digital mode above 40 watts so may just get away with
having the PA internal for now with the power limited to 30 on RTTY
and lower on PSK etc

Just one other thing what microphones are best suited to the K2 ?
I currently use a Heil Proset with the HC 5 element on a Yaesu FT847
and was wondering if that was suitable for the K2?

I am finishing up a few more Elecraft Kits and need to move some of the
surplus stuff.  I have a built AF filter which does a great job. Also have a
repaired extra KI02.  Before repairing I ordered an extra one.  This has the
board assembled but needs a new cable made with connectors.  All parts and
manual included.  Guaranteed to work.  Make me offers off list.  Maybe you
have something I need ... a trade?
