[Elecraft] Elecraft K2 7615

[Johnny Siu]

Hello Aaron,
Let me be the naughty boy and speak the otherwise.
I once built a KDSP2 and eventually sold it in return for a KAF2.  I am mostly a phone operator and found the artifact from KDSP2 was terrible.  Especially in the NR noise reduction, no matter how I adjusted the settings, I was unable to find a sweet spot.
I eventually got a KAF2 at the second hand market (say USD45).  It was simple but effective in both CW and SSB. It was well worth the money.
My complaint about DSP artifacts also applied to K3.  I am looking forward to the improved audio hardware in K3S.
My good hearing up to 12Khz sometimes does give me some trouble in DSP artifacts.

Aaron,
I would not toss it.
I just got my K2 serial #5308 back from Don, W3FPR.
I bought it used and had Don to put additional options in it as I have bad
eyesight. It works great. I am very pleased with it.
He did a fantastic job and will work with you to get it right. He will even
build and install the SSB option for you. His prices are very reasonable.
Don is here on the reflector and has a website.
Send him an e-mail and see what you can work out with him.
You've got too much money tied up in the radio to just throw it in the
trash.

I bought the Elecraft K2 # 7615.
I'm just wondering if I could send the unit back and just cut my losses on
it. I have it assembled except for the SSB  Module. For the past couple of
months I have been trying to align the unit. Every single step of the
process has been a battle. I have received help from the Elecraft Email
subscription but I am just tired of fighting with it. I have gone over all
of the solder point and made sure that they are good along with the
components being inserted correctly, I also had electronic engineers go over
it. I just can't get it to work. I can get it to generate a tone for the
tone generator test but that is as far as I can get. I'm at the point that
if I can't get Elecraft to look at it, then I'm just going to dump it in the
trash and sign my thousand bucks that I have invested in it as a loss and
try to save up for another radio. I don't know what else to do. I am really
tired of fighting with it and it has become and object of frustration
instead of a way to communicate with the world.
Please Help
