K2 # 4320 Heard its first signal at 0153 utc on 7.036 K4EEG working someone in the noise. I was really taken with the way this radio receives I had gotton a signal right off bat before peaking L34 and I had started listening and was amazed at how well it receives. It is very quiet no hiss like my MarkV and I sat there and just listened for about a half hour and then realized that I still needed to peak the L1 L2 to maximize receive. I had forgotten about completing the alignment just because I was listening then My 14 yr old daughter said Dad Are you going to do the L1/L2 to complete the step? OH Yeah OOPS but that to made a big difference Had to turn down the volume. All in all it has been a very good project with little mistakes up to now Those were MY OWN nothing major All my parts were in the bag, The vco voltage table voltages were all with in spec the kit in my opinion is unbeatable for design of just building. its clever at how they have layed the board out utilizing both sides in order to avoid having to use surface mount Tech. But of course you all already know that any way, BTW Gotta get it finished about another week I suppose then on to the 160m Module (My Favorite band of operation) Then on to the SSB Then take a break and on to the K1 That I won at the Orlando Hamcation back in Feb. 73's David KR4OW K2# 4320
