K2 S-meter calibration (CW-CWRV-USB-LSB) ?

[Behiels JeanPierre]

Hi K2 builders;

I do have calibrate my S-meter following exactly what is tell in the building manual.
I do have done this allignement "CW normal mode".
What I see while switching between CW reverse and USB and LSB mode is that the right led indication does not indicate most right on other modes ???
I see a little difference in S-meter indicaton bewteen CW normal and the 3 other modes ??
The S-meter indicaton is dropping one led from right.
The most right led indication is done with RF control fully counter clockwise of course.  
Is this normal,I do have allign my filters and BFO settings all correctly.
Yes I now,I am talking about details now,and what I see while playing with my new toy hi.
Next days I start to build my KPA100 unit.
Great building kit for sure...


Regards Jean ON4AEF.

Jean,

You can adjust the CAL S HI menu in CW reverse or LSB or USB to
compensate for that discrepancy.
If you have a signal generator that produces a 50 microvolt (-73 dBm)
signal, use that to adjust the CAL S-HI menu parameter.
