I'm building a K2, and so far its working. I'm now assembling the KSB2
ssb adapter. In the step where I'm to put in the Filter Crystal set I'm supposed to find a calibration number on the envelope. the Part number is E850006, the only other numbers on the envelope are: 29870-1 171109 , What do I use for a calibration number? thanks, Gordon - N1MGO ______________________________________________________________ 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] |
Gordon,
If there is no number inked in somewhere on that envelope, someone dropped the ball when sorting the crystals. In the absence of a calibration number, assume it is 3.6 - that is the most common. 73, Don W3FPR On 3/21/2018 6:37 PM, Gordon LaPoint wrote: > I'm building a K2, and so far its working.

Don,
Thanks! There is no number inked on the envelope. Is there a way using soundcard data to check?

Gordon,
I don't know how you would use any soundcard data to check that, but if you have an instrument that can extract crystal parameters, that will work. It is easier to just assume your crystal set is somewhere close to the midpoint, and that is 3.6. When you get it all together, you can use Spectrogram (or another audio spectrum analyzer) to optimize where the filter passband is placed. You can download a copy of Spectrogram from my website www.w3fpr.com - scroll near the bottom of the opening page to find the links. There is some information on my K2 Dial Calibration article about using Spectrogram. For more detail along with pictures, look at the Tom Hammond (SK) N0SS website at http://www.mmccs.com/mmarc/n0ss/index_k2.html (do not use the Spectrogram download link you will see there - use the link to the local files on my website). 73, Don W3FPR On 3/21/2018 7:13 PM, Gordon LaPoint wrote: > Don, > Thanks!
