[Elecraft] K2 alignment and test part 2

In my K2 build I am approaching the alignment and test part 2 stage. I have the Rigol DS1052E scope (software upgraded to 100mhz) I would like to use the scope on my K2 build. I do know there is spectrogram, and features on the K2 that I can use BUT I would like to use the scope as well. I

Mike, The best use of the 'scope is during the transmit bandpass filter alignment - just connect the 'scope (with a 10X probe) across your dummy load, and use it to indicate the RF amplitude - that is faster then looking at the slower to change display on the K2. If you have the KAT2 option

Don thanks very much for taking the time to get back to me and I will use the scope for the procedures you indicated. Mike -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K2-alignment-and-test-part-2-tp7577391p7577395.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at

Hi Jon, 13.31 kHz is OK. The manual is overly conservative. I think we mention this in the errata and on our builders web page at: http://www.elecraft.com/Apps/K2info.html. But in any case, we allow for up to at least 18 kHz max PLL ref range. 73, Eric WA6HHQ jon howe wrote: I have made

I have made it to page 57, PLL Reference Oscillator Range Test. My high Freq is 12098.42 low freq is 12085.21 Range = 13.21 kHz So the range is not between 9.8 and 13 kHz, and I must refer to Troubleshooting. I'm stumped. To exactly where in the Troubleshooting section are they referring?
