: Re: K2 #4472 4 mhz alighment resolved

Jerry Deibel
First of all sorry to all for the incomplete email.   Somehow, not all my message was being sent the last two times.. I think I got it straightend out now

I  finaelecraftelecraftlly got a zero beat on the www 10mhz signal and the K2 display reads 10000000 at the beat tone.
I had some problems  as shown below.          I am using Spectrogram.

First, on my Yaesu MP I have the dial at 10,000,000 and I get tone that changes between 500  and 600 hz, with a single 1k tone on the minute.  Great now I know where I am!
Then on to  the K2.   When I zero beat it for the 500 and 600 tones, the dial on the K2 is at 9999,95 so its a little off...   BUT I also got a loud tone at 1100 with sidebands all over on the K2 almost to the point of preventing me from seeing the 500 and 600 tones.  BUT I continued on and ......

Now I come to the procedure  to run CAL FCTR and move the probe beteen TP1 and TP2 , adjusting C22 until the the Khz and Hz digits match ( this is from N6KR method) , well I couldn't get them to match by adjusting C22.  They are about 600 hz off....  BUT I continued on and ran CAL PLL and FIL and...

Now I zero beated again and the K2 display was at 9999.55  and the loud tone at 1100 was gone and I could see the 500 and 600 just like on the MP.   Adjusting C22 now allowed me to get the Khz and Hz digits to match at 14913.38 to 4913.48 .  After running CAL PLL and FIL the dial on the K2 reads exactly 10000000 when zero beating..   Success at last!!      Dials on both the MP and K2 match while zero beating WWW.

Not running CAL PLL and FIL after adjusting C22 really was the cause of it all, I believe.

Thanks to all you replied, I really appreciate it.
I will wait a week or two get used to it before I add the SSB , IO and tuner options.
