K2 50975 finished

[Jesus L. Paleo]

I am happy, my K2 is ready to his first qso, just waiting by a decent
antenna, now receive signals in DX 80m band.

Just one BFO setting question. This is a only cw K2, no ssb module
pluged, all the setting are fine but in USB the bfo at Call Fill can
not  get a frequency as in other modes, in cw, cwr and lsb all go fine
with the BFO call, but not at usb, is this a fail or can i ignore it ?


Regards and hope a can be for a little time at ARRL contest, just to
check this fine rtx.

Jesus, EA1DAV

Happy can be the Elecraft people if they put 50975 K2 in the market ;-)
The serial number is 05975, this is more realistic. Sorry by the mistake.

I think i have solved the problem. The cause seem to be the coil
toroidal in the botton. When the botton cover is instaled, the upper and
lower limits in the firsts BFO adjusts fail in the upper limit, the bfo
is unstable at upper limit. If the botton cover is not instaled it work
fine. I add a more long separator, only a bit longer than the one
supplied with tha kit and tha interaction of cover over the BFO coil is
now aceptable and upper and lower limist meet specifications as manual
say. I do Call Fill again and it adjust as expected.

Thanks by the help.

Jesus, EA1DAV.
