RE: [Elecraft] How to set up SSB

Well, you made me think, but it turns out, you are right. The CAL FIL display says t for the 2.20 setting, but it's really using OP1. However, with the alignment done on 2.20 and transmit done on OP1, the filter will be very off, and the ripple is extreme. My 2 year old KSB2 seems OK in the

Dan, The 't' is on the BFO display corresponding to FL1 - and its only meaning is that this is the BFO (carrier) frequency that will be used for transmit. 73, Don W3FPR - Original Message - Well, you made me think, but it turns out, you are right. The CAL FIL display says t for

The option of OP1 or 2.2, etc in the filter selection is for receive only. However you still have to make sure that the BFO is place correct for the TX filter OP1 and the easiest way to do that is to set up with OP1 in FL1 on receive as was finally selected and match the BFO to that with

Hi Dan. Another idea. Why not some sort of RF-probe circuit? It would look just like the RF probe in the book, but with different component values to get the time constant down. The RF probe in the book gives about a 100 Hz bandwidth which isn't enough (I'd want at least 5K for SSB audio

Nigel and all, I hope I have not caused any confusion, BUT ... I have been refering to the classical filter 'corner frequency' as the -3 dB point, which does place the upper 'physical corner' seen on the display at 400 to 500 Hz. Perhaps I should change my text to clarify. 73, Don W3FPR

I've just gotten my MH2 working again with a RadioShack 270-090 element. I have no idea if that's the right part, but it appeared identical to the Heil part, and the o'scope says about 120 mV p-p when I talk normally (Measured at pin 5 of the SSB adapter - should be the same as mic connectory pin

Dan, You could try using the microphone direct into a tape recorder if the mic's response is the primary question. If you are referring to filter adjustments to match your voice, I think more emphasis than necessary has been placed on refining the frequency range. If you have set your FL1
