Don, Thank you for the suggestion. I've already done that and it looks like both are now the same. I want to do an on air test before getting near another RTTY contest so I will have to time tweak anything before I have another panic during a contest.
I still don't understand why 15 meters was okay and 20 and 40 meters were not. I know about the inversion of side bands at 17 meters and above. But in my thinking the problem should have occurred there as well but on opposite side bands. Thank you again for your help. Take pride in the USA. 73 Jim, W0EM >________________________________ >From: Don Wilhelm <[email protected]> >To: Jim Harris <[email protected]> >Cc: "[email protected]" <[email protected]>; Elecraft Email ><[email protected]>; "[email protected]" <[email protected]> >Sent: Monday, July 18, 2011 11:10 AM >Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K2 Problem in NAQP > >Jim, > >You have both the K2 and the K3, so you don't have to wait for an actual "on >the air" test.
