[Elecraft] K2 power cord

Tue Jul 8 18:43:07 2003

Gosh.  Maybe I'm missing something but the power cord TO the K2 is
connected to your power supply and so it should not change.  It's 13.7
volts DC + or -.  Now the power supply itself and a cord and plug for it
is another matter.  You will need a power supply which has an input
compatible with the voltage and frequency of the local mains supply.
That can and does vary widely.  The other variable will be the wall
plug.  I seem to remember that outfits such as The Sharper Image (and
I'm sure other places) used to offer a kit of plug converters which
would work almost anywhere.

Subject: [Elecraft] K2 power cord

A question in addition to my other post:

What is the recommended configuration for a power cord to be used with
the K2/100?  I am going to be travelling with the radio internationally
over an extended period of time, so convenience is a factor.  What gauge
wire/type of fuses (if necessary??) should I use in the power cord?
What 
is the maximum recommended length for a cord given particular specs?  Am
going to make a radio shack run later in the week to buy the parts.
Thanks!
