UK Elecraft net report for Sunday 5th April

Many of the regular net stations were attending the Blackpool Rally,
only myself, Brendan (EI6IZ), Richard (G4CGG) and Tim (G4ARI) were
around today on 3627 KHz.

Items of interest were the K6XX CW tuning indicator for the K2, the
Amtor activity evenings recently included in the RSGB news (Tuesday
evenings, 80m band) and microphone insert choices.

73 until next week

I just ordered the components to build a KR5L CW Tuning Indicator for my
K2. Waiting on the IC from overseas. Have to layout a board and etch it
yet. Bought a neat orange super bright LED for the Lock button cap. That
should look interesting in that color.

Mike,

I understand that you have already ordered the parts, but a more compact
CW tuning indicator is the K6XX indicator (similar circuit). The board
was designed by Tom Hammond and a kit of parts is available - see
http://www.n3epa.org/Pages/K6XX/K6XXCWIndicatorKit.htm for the kit.

If you wish to avoid drilling holes in the K2, small LEDs can be mounted
in the K2 Keycaps. See http://www.qslnet.de/member/la3za/K2_LEDS.html
for more information. The tiny HP LEDs do require different series
resistor values, so look at Sverre's schematics for that information.

73,
Don W3FPR
