Hi All, I've just finished K2/100 #6998. After blowing the PA transistors of the base K2 by accidentally dropping the frequency probe into the works, I've completed the KPA100, installed it and all is working very well. Made several SSB contacts tonight and I couldn't be happier. I have a great sense of achievement :)
I'm curious about a prominent birdie, zero beat at 3589khz. It's present, and more prominent, with the antenna disconnected and has its origin internally. There are some postings about this birdie from around 2008, but I don't see any resolution. I can live with it, even though it's inconveniently located right where I like to work on SSB phone. Did anyone work out where this comes from and whether or not there is a simple fix? Also, I've calibrated the K2 reference oscillator several times according to the N6KR method. The result is that my frequency display is 20hz off frequency after the rig has warmed up: eg it reads 9999.98 for 10000.00 WWV signal. Am I correct in understanding this is about as good I can expect given the DAC parameters of the K2? I can't seem to improve on it further by repeating it. 73, John VK7JB -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K2-K2-100-birdie-3589-tp5696814p5696814.html Sent from the [K2] mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
