RE: [Elecraft] K2 IF Alignment Question

You are not adjusting for the peak, you are adjusting for the maximum signal/noise. It does not occur at the peak signal. Unless you are using Spectrogram or some such, it is a trick to do by ear. That said, if your best S/N is at the top, I haven't a clue if you have a problemg. Dan / WG4S / K2

Are we speaking of the same L34? Mine peaked at nearly the top, not a turn or so from the top. As I remember I was peaking for the loudness of the noise; nary a signal around. de Joe, aa4nn --- - Original Message - From: Dan

John, You are evidently storing the K2 in an 'extreme' environment and it may be picking up condensation as you surmised in your subject line. Yes, in your case, I would think you may be wise to clean off the flux residue, but work with a Q-tip and work a small area at a time. On replacing the

The 'peak' on L34 is very broad and difficult to discern. It ideally should be adjusted for the best signal to noise ratio. If you use the 7000 KHz 'birdie' (no antenna connected), you can usually hear the signal peak especially if you listen for the noise to minimize. A Spectrogram display
