[Elecraft] K2/100 errata

Sun Jun 16 09:42:00 2002

Hi

The 1200 pf cap at C83 will work fine. It was the original value at the s=
tart of the field test.. However it was discovered reducing it to 1000 pf=
 improved the efficiency on 10 meters by reducing the current draw at 100=
 watts with no other ill effects. 1000 pf is now the recommended value fo=
r C83.

The errata for the K2/100, item # 2 advises us of a component value chang=
e
for capacitor C83 and suggests changing it in the parts list.
Unfortunately, that paragragh does not suggest making any note on page 36
where that part is installed.

Since components of both values are supplied, it is quite likely you (lik=
e
me) will install the original value cap, especially if your parts invento=
ry
process is simmilar to mine, i.e. non-existent.

I have no idea what effect the decreased value of C83 is, but my radio
seems to work fine with C83 at 1200. Don't know whether I will change it =
or
not.
