[Elecraft] I fried my N-Gen module

[Don Wilhelm]

Glenn,

Yes, the N-Gen does not like to see transmitted power at its output!

Check to see if MiniCircuits has any European sources.

Your least cost alternative may be to send a note to
mailto:parts at elecraft.com and ask for a replacement.

Dans Small Parts has a suitable substitute (INA-10386) that I have used, but
he wants $13.50 for international shipping - but if you order other parts it
may be worthwhile.

Sorry to hear of your disaster.  Put the K2 into CW TEST in the future.  But
who am I to talk, I did the same thing only last week (for the 4th or 5th
time).  Fortunately, I have replacements on hand so I was able to recover in
a few minutes after the air cleared from the "AHHH S**T".

73,
Don W3FPR
