[Elecraft] K3s and ICOM IC-2KL

[C G]

Hi German,

Today the second-hand 2KL+2KLPS+AT500 arrived by post. Am under way cleaning and checking the whole set. Later on, must check ALC's compatibility.

Now, have to build:
- a balun, because my sole present antenna is a Levy a.k.a. Zepp with a 300 ohms symmetrical feeder,
- a PA driver, as the 2KL is supposed to be driven by around 80 W, and my K3s is a 10W version. Found some hackable PCB's on epay, adaptable to use my stock power FET's.
- an automatic band switch interface, as the K3s outputs BCD, where the 2KL/AT500 are voltage driven. Already mounted a BCD decoder kit that I most probably will link to the 2KL A/D converter **outputs** for reliability reasons, by means of a diode matrix (+ DIL switches for configuration of various antennae including multiband.)

Do you have issues with your Elecraft + Icom configuration?

> Hello Christian: It gives me great joy to know that someone has the same concern about combining the K3s with the 2KL and the AT 500. I will be very attentive to any communication from you about it. Merci beacoup. German HK3J
