Hi Bob,
Sounds normal and very much like my K2.
The RF gain in the K2 is really an IF gain with the front end RF gain set at
a constant level and only affected by switching in the preamp or the
attenuator. I have an old JRC receiver where the RF gain works the same as the
K2 in
that the
Without having any of my documentation (or the radio) to hand at the
moment Glenn, I would go for the BFO frequency settings. It is possible
to get into this situation if they are way out.
Hope this gives you something to look at before the guys with detail
answers finish breakfast :-)

Let me build you a K2. I have built 80 K2's to date. My prices are

That condition would occur if the USB BFOs are set on the wrong side of the
carrier.
There is a sideband reversal that occurs on 15 meters and above, and the
symptom will 'switch sidebands' for the upper bands.
I suggest you re-check the BFO settings, start with the settings shown in

You seem to be getting the display that will occur if the K2 is powered on

I have noticed on my K2, that if I adjust the AGC threshold such that
the background noise level *truly* doesn't change when turning the AGC

not sufficiently reduce the level of very strong stations.

Is there any advantage (i.e. save power) in switching the IO-port off when
not in use?
Any other reason not to leave it 'On' forever once the KIO2 is installed?

I you could turn the PORT to OFF if you wanted to assure the inadvertent

1.Turn Power button to 0,1W (full left)
2.Press PTT
3.When on TX without releasing PTT turn power up over 10W limit to turn on

Those little thermal insulators are probably in a small paper envelope. I

I would hope that the basic lack of civility that permeates much of our

When I built my K1 and again when I built my K2 there was not a single
part missing. Nada, zip, zilch, zed, zero. I had THOUGHT there were
parts missing in both kits. It turned out that I had overlooked them or
found them to be in a place other than where I had expected them to be.
