Not a dumb question at all. At this point you should have all the receiver you ever will get on 40 meters, and you should be hearing 40 meter signals loud and clear with the AF gain set at about the 9 o'clock position. If that is not true, either the band is dead, you have a poor antenna, or there is something wrong with the K2.
The audio in the K2 does not have a LOT of excess AF gain, but it is more than adequate if the receiver is functioning properly. You did set the filters and BFOs as indicated in the manual dod you not? The filters do make a great difference in the K2 performance - if you set them per the manual steps they should be good enough for now, but plan to refine them later for optimum performance. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > Alignment and Test,Part 2 > I Have Two Questions > 1-Should I be picking up 40 meter > band signals at this point CW/ ???? > 2-Will my volume increase as I > Proceed with project???? > Might be a dumb question > _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
