Humble Pie time,
I previously sought advice from the list regarding low power output from
my K2 in "Tune" mode, and I later found also in CW mode. This only
occurred when the SSB module was installed.
After much investigation of the SSB module, rechecking component
location etc.. I had a relapse to normality from dyslexic mode and found
RP3 and 5 were in each others locations.
A quick swap back and everything was fine.
That explained why my mic gain seemed a bit high too !!!!
All is well now. I had plenty of opportunity to play over the weekend
while the CQ WPX contest was on. I made about 80 contacts (32 countries
I think it was) during the contest just playing with the K2, trying
different levels of audio compression etc.. and checking the effect on
the pile-up busting ability. Often got in first time, the VP8 prefix
helps there, but the DX does have to hear it!
I built the DSP module on Sunday night and installed it on Monday.
That's quite impressive. It'll take me a while to get it set up for my
ear I guess.
