[Elecraft] 8R hold question

2007-01-31 Thread Larry Clark
Hi, The K2 manual says to use 8R hold to improve amplifier keying. It appears that this is to prevent a mechanical relay in an amp from cycling too frequently with the K2's QSK. Is 8R hold necessary with PIN diode switched amps like the Alpha? Enabling 8R hold in my K2 introduces a slight

[Elecraft] FSK on a K2?

2007-01-31 Thread Ken Alexander
Hi folks, I'm thinking of getting a MicroKeyer from MicroHam for my K2. One of the attractions is that it claims I can run FSK RTTY instead of AFSK. Really? I don't find any mention of FSK with a K2 in anything I've read...so either I don't know enough about FSK or I don't know enough about my

Hi Mark, The main benefit to FSK seems to be not having to fiddle with audio levels to and from the computer, which are constantly being changed depending on what I'm doing with the computer. Other than that I don't think there's any functional difference between FSK and AFSK. I went back to
