[Elecraft] K2 QSK

[N2TK, Tony]

Hi Bob,
You hit on a disappointment of mine - the K2 does not have true QSK. If it
did I would have had a second K2 here. To date I haven't heard of anything
that can be done to get QSK like some of the other rigs. When I am Cqing I
don't need QSK. Actually your ears get a break when running without QSK. But
when hunting and pouncing it is nice to have QSK that hears between the dits
at >20WPM.

K2 5336 is up and running with a pile of European and transatlantic contacts
on 10W during the first evening on 3.5MHz. I'm delighted with the rig in
every respect except one. It's described as full QSK but doesn't come close
to offering the performance of a Ten Tec in this respect - although it beats
my FT1000MP with its clacking relays hands down! Are there any mods to make
this rig true QSK without upsetting the keying waveform?
