K2, Freq readout
Locked
 
|
Thanks to all who responded to my question.
Seems that something strange is going on with my K2 (-: Reading through the responses it strengthened my feeling I did the procedure (as described by Wayne, n6kr getting an exact difference of 10.000 MHz between tp1 and tp2) correct. But my readout is still approx 1 KHz off. Will give it another go (-: 73's, Carel. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Carel,
You8 did not specify, so I must ask -- did you alos do CAL FIL before you checked the result. It is necessary that you do both CAL PLL and CAL FIL (for each BFO) after adjusting the refcerence oscillator. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > > Seems that something strange is going on with my K2 (-: > Reading through the responses it strengthened my feeling I did > the procedure > (as described by Wayne, n6kr getting an exact difference of 10.000 MHz > between tp1 and tp2) correct.

Don,
That may be part of the problem. I did the CAL FIL and then the CAL PLL failed. Since I had just started setting this up I felt I wouldn't lose much by powering up with 4, 5, and 6 depressed abd haven't gone back to do it again. This may be why the frequency doesn't change (no lookup tables).

John,
One should do CAL PLL first and then do CAL FIL, but your 40 meter problem will prevent you from doing CAL PLL anyway - see your query about that for more help. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > From: [hidden email] > [mailto:[hidden email]]On Behalf Of John [K7SVV] > Sent: Sunday, April 30, 2006 6:13 PM > To: [hidden email] > Cc: [hidden email] > Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K2, Freq readout > > > Don, > That may be part of the problem.
