Re: K2 IF Alignment question

Gerard Provoost

Hello Guy,

I had a similar experience, till I discovered that you have to turn the
AGC off. Then you have a very sharp peek on your voltmeter or your audio
when tuning L34. Worked fine for me!

Greetings,

  Subject: [Elecraft] K2 IF Alignment question

  Happy Turkey Day to all,

  Symptom:  In aligning the IF Amp on K2 #5091, I am not hearing any
signal
  strength variation when adjusting L34 per the instructions on pg. 62.
The
  weak signal near 7000 khz is relatively loud but moving the slug
doesn't
  result in any variation that I can hear.  I can peak signals with L1
and L2
  for the 40m bandpass alignment.  And actual band signals seem the same
  signal strength when compared to an ICom 746.  All resistance test
readings
  and all other alignment tests are within range.

  Is there normally much signal variation when aligning the IF amp?  If
so,
  please point me in a direction for troubleshooting.

  Thanks in advance,

  Guy N7UN/2
