K2 SSB option problem

Gordon LaPoint
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

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.

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).
