George, Before drawing any conclusions based on another piece of amateur gear, zero beat WWV at 10 MHz (for a rough approximation, tune until the announcment voice is correct) and see just how far off you are.
The procedure (along with a lot of related information including how to 'zero-beat' WWFV very closely) to properly set the K2 dial calibration is on my website www.qsl.net/w3fpr. 600 Hz is WAY off - 20 0r 30 Hz might be expected after doing the calibration. A note on observations in CW mode - be certain of how the receiver used to observe the K2 transmitted frequency handles the CW offset. If it shows the actual carrier frequency while listening to a particular pitch, you must be certain the audio note is the same as that pitch (just like on the K2). 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > Hi all > 4801 was getting a upgrade (ssb adapter) > when I noticed that listening on my other rig (Icom 746 pro.) > the k2 was off freq by 1kc high on 40 lsb this is on tx and rx. > It is 600hz off high on cw. > any ideas? > > George NE2I > > _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
