Hello, Fellow Elecrafters: I'm trying to set the offset on my K1 with some degree of precision. I want to be "on top" of the other station when he' in the peak of my K1 passband. However, I'm getting reports that I'm "off", in spite of my best efforts.
My K1 is complete. I flip the switch on the bottom of the RF board. I go into the menu, set the ptich to (in my case) 680 Hz, and zero beat the two tones, using the capacitor. Then, I flip the switch back to "operate", close everything up, and I'm NOT zero beat with the other guy. How come this won't accomplish the job? What am I missing? Is it more accurate to use an external receiver to tune in a station, center that same station in my K1's passband, then adjust the capacitor to place the K1's transmitted signal on top of the other station (i.e., in the peak of the passband)? Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. 73, Jim K5HO --------------------- Nunquam Secundum _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
