Re : CAL PLL and CAL FIL

[Jean-François Ménard-5]

On my side, when doing CAL FIL, I always BYPASS the KDSP2.

If you have the KDSP2 installed, can you still use the "N6KR method" to set
the reference?  I would think you would want it in Bypass.

Ben,

You can just do the CAL FIL alone.

In fact, you can do CAL PLL alone too.

Only one 'caution' - if you are to retain good dial calibration, be certain
the 4 MHz reference oscillator is set properly before doing either CAL FIL
or CAL PLL.  The best method of setting the reference is using the "N6KR
method" - see
http://www.elecraft.com/Apps/K2%20C22%20Adjust%20App%20Note.pdf for the
instructions if you do not already know the procedure.

You can do CAL FIL without setting the reference first, and your K2 will
sound great, and the filters will work fine - the dial calibration may be a
few more Hz off from what it should be, but that is the only 'bad' result.

73,
Don W3FPR
