"I need too add an indicator to my K2 when running
split. A couple of times I thought I was split when I wasn't. Had egg on my face when I called on top of the DX station. That's embarrassing." I concur with that Tony! If you come up with a good solution, let me know. Sometimes I just need a big RED LED to let me know I'm doing what I think I'm doing! Good luck on the 160 attempt, I'll be listening for 'em as well (nothing this AM). 73, Julius n2wn _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Folks,
A Split/RIT/XIT indicator can (and has) been added to the K2 as a mod. If you want a non-Elecraft implementation, you can do it. Look at Tom Hammond's website www.n0ss.net near the bottom, and/or look at the LA3ZA Unofficial list of mods for the K2 at http://www.qslnet.de/member/la3za/K2/mod.html. For a 'no-holes' implementation, a small LED can be mounted in a keycap. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > > "I need too add an indicator to my K2 when running > split.

Don W3FPR ---------------- I have pictures of mine on my web site at http://www.qslnet.de/member/la3za/K2_LEDS.html Since the Split LED output from the K2 only can drive a low current LED it takes a single transistor driver to drive the tiny LED in the key cap. I intend to draw a schematic of how I connected the Split LED along with the KAF2 LED, but haven't gotten around to it yet. 73 Sverre LA3ZA http://www.qslnet.de/la3za/ _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

OK folks, what am I missing here? There are so many things about my
Elecraft radios I still don't understand or know how to use, but ... the little "down-arrow" blinks for me when I have held the SPLIT button down. I've always thought that was the indicator that I was in split mode. It did when I worked K7C. I just did when I tried it right now. Have I screwed up yet again?

In reply to this post by k6dgw
Fred:
You are doing it right. This discussion is mainly by people who think the "down arrow" isn't a good enough indicator of split mode. Either that or they just like to constantly improve their K2. I have too many project boxes around the house with 1 or 2 spare holes in them, due to design "second thoughts" and I don't want my K2 starting to look like that, so my mods are few and far between. Also, it would be hard for me to believe I could significantly improve upon the "factory" design of my K2. 73's, John AA0VE Fred Jensen wrote: > OK folks, what am I missing here?
