Elecrafters,
i successfully installed the 60m-Module, i have rx and tx. The qso-partners tell me my modulation is very high pitched and therefore almost unreadable. Also, the frequency readout is offset by almost 400hz. I haven't used the K2 for a very long time , so i think a realignment from the start is a good idea. Unfortunatelly i'm not at home and have no access to the manual. On the elecraft website i can only find a manual for K2 with ser#4000 or younger. Can anyone point me to an old manual for a K2 ser#2706 revision A board, built in 2001? Thanks. -- 73, Martin Ohne CW ist es nur CB... ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |
Martin,
Go ahead and use the new manual if your firmware is version 2.01 or higher. The main difference with version 1.0x firmware is that CAL PLL must be done on each band with the earlier firmware, and with version 2.01 and above it is run only on 40 meters. It sounds like your filters need to be aligned and the frequency display calibrated. You can start with the K2 Dial Calibration article on my website www.w3fpr.com. Detail of using Spectrogram for setting the filters can be found on Tom Hammond N0SS (SK) website which has been preserved by the mid-Missouri Amateur Radio Club and can be found at http://www.mmccs.com/mmarc/n0ss/ - scroll down to Elecraft K2 Related Files, and on that page Scroll down to the Spectrogram document. Do not use Tom's link to find Spectrogram. I have preserved a copy of both version 5.17 and version 16 (both freeware) on my website. Scroll to near the bottom of the home page to find the links. 73, Don W3FPR On 11/4/2018 9:40 AM, Martin wrote: > Elecrafters, > i successfully installed the 60m-Module, i have rx and tx. > The qso-partners tell me my modulation is very high pitched and > therefore almost unreadable.
