[Elecraft] K2 Digital Signals Mod

[Paul Webb]

Hi I have a bare foot K2 that I only use for digi modes (Normally PSK)=20
I run about 10 Watts Max on peaks. I don=92t seem to have many problems
getting qso's at this power level, I just a have a 1/2 size windom up at
about 25ft here .
Never really needed more power than that, make sue your signal is not =
over
driven and nice and clean to make sure its readable at the other end.
Good luck
Paul

Hi Pete,
  I too am using my K2 and a RigBlaster for psk31.  I am only running
between and 5 and 10 watts, or so out on 20 meters and haven't been =
having
much luck making contacts.  Previously I had used a Yaesu rig putting =
about
40 eatts into the same antenna and had no trouble at all making =
contacts. =20

I have almost completed a 35 watt amplifier (HFPacker amp, I think its
called) so I can get a bit more ooomph.

I was wondering if you or anyone else is using the K2 barefoot and if so =
how
you were doing with psk31?

Thanks Tom
