Dear Folks: I have a newly built K2 (#6922). It works great, but now (after setting the filters using Spectrogram) I am having a bit of a problem. In order to understand the problem, I need to describe how I am hearing things on the receiver.
On CW, I hear a carrier from the other station (i.e., strong carrier but zero beat with my BFO), with the tone of the received signal very loud and strong on one side of the carrier, and quite weak and soft on the other side. My problem is that, when I try and contact someone, it looks like they are hearing me on the frequency that is identical with the weak and soft side, as opposed to the loud and strong side. I called CQ twice recently, got responses both times, but the responding station's signal is on the weak and soft side. I would say that the peak received signal is slightly over 1 khz lower than the transmitted signal. Obviously, this creates a problem for when I try to make a contact. Certainly, it almost completely eliminates my ability to use the filters unless I use RIT or XIT to get the rcvr and the xmtr to separate frequencies. Both RIT and XIT are off when this happens. I am not using split VFO's. Did I screw something up when I set the filters? I didn't seem to have this problem before I reset them. If I did, how would I get back to the old level of performance? I suppose I can just reset them to the values in the manual? Thanks for any help you can give me. 73 de Bernie, KF0QS ______________________________________________________________ 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
