[Elecraft] [K2] SN 6688 lives!

[Don Wilhelm]

Allan,

Set the 10 meter bandpass filter to peak on 28400 rather than the 28200 
suggested in the manual and you will likely have more 10 meter 
coverage.  Note that the 10 meter band specification for the K2 is from 
28.0 to 28.8 MHz, so do expect output to fall off above that frequency.

73,
