This is Julie, wife of Larry K4MWE, with 2 cents on the 2-meter trouble.
We are using FM-tone to hit local repeaters.
We have changed the BNC adapter attaching the antenna cable, made sure the
antenna connection is secure, tried connecting the antenna directly to the
K3, and still the received 2-meter repeater FM voices are distorted, with a
buzz quality behind every word. The same antenna enables very clear
reception on our old Icom radio, so I don't think the antenna is at fault.
We have an FM filter installed and it is being accessed according to the
display.
The transverter was factory installed. We did not receive any written
indication of the frequency tuning offsets, and I suspect this is the
problem, as if I change frequency a bit away from the repeater's nominal
frequency, then voices do sound clearer.
Tomorrow we can see if the Elecraft factory kept a record of the transverter
frequency offsets. If not then I guess we can open the case and look?
Thanks for the suggestions. ALL help is much appreciated!!
Julie KT4JR and Larry K4MWE
