[Elecraft] Status report

[George A. Thornton]

Pleased to report that #04554 is going well.

 

I now have installed four options: KNB2, KDSP2, K160RX  AND KSB2.      

 

Everything went pretty smoothly.  With the exception of the KSB2,
everything worked according to hoyle right off the bat.  The KSB2 unit
would not communicate with the main processor.  I went back and checked
and found I had forgotten to finish soldering in the P1 connector.  I
had carefully rechecked the bottom of the board but forgot to go back
through the top.

 

A few dabs of solder on the remaining pins and # 04554 was off to the
races.

 

Next option to install is the 60 meter module.  That does not look too
complicated.

 

I now have a question:

 

I plan to eventually go for the 100 watt option, but not right away.
Can you use the 100 watt antenna tuner in the QRP version or do you have
to have the 100 watt unit installed first?
