Fw: K2 RX - TX PERMANENT OFFSET

[EA1HFS]

Hi from Spain.

My first time here, I need some help.

I've just purchased a second hand K2  with #5768 serial number.

This rig comes with a permanent 100 Hz offset (even when XIT OFF and  RIT OFF)

I mean:
Tuned to receive on 14200.00  I have to XIT it to 14200.10 if I want to be ON FRECUENCY when transmitting.

I've been advised to be OFF frequency many times in the first week of using it.
After using XIT no problem, I'm very pleased with the quality of the rig but I would like to set it same TX and RX freq.

Easy cure for this offset? Any suggestion?

I dont want to touch config  without hearing your experienced opinion first.

Thanks in advance.

Alberto

Alberto,

That is not normal, and it can be corrected.

The very first thing to check is the sidetone pitch.  Be certain it is
set to the pitch you are listening at.  The TX frequency is offest by
the amount set in the sidetone pitch menu.

Secondly, be certain your CW filters are centered at that same pitch.
Thirdly, be certain your K2 dial calibration is correct.

Assistance in setting both the dial calibration and the IF filters
correctly can be found on my website www.w3fpr.com = look on the eleft
sidebar for K2 Dial Calibration.

You can obtain Spectrogram 5 from Tom Hammond's web site www.n0ss.net -
he has documentation about how to use it for your K2 filters.
