Hi David and thanks for your answer. I don't think the repeater is doing the clipping as the same signals sound fine on our Icom 706. I think the K144XV is doing the clipping. Yes, we have checked the AGC and tried every possible setting for that. Thanks, Julie

Julie - What you say suggests that the strong signals going through the repeater are the problem if the weaker ones are okay. Perhaps those strong stations are over-deviating and are hence being clipped by the repeater's receiver. The K3 is a precision transceiver so maybe the fault lies with remote transmitters. I presume you have your AGC on the K3 correctly set. No problems with 2 metre repeater use with my K144XV here, nor with repeaters on 6 metres. 73/88 de David G4DMP -- + - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - + | David M Pratt, Kippax, Leeds. | | Website: http://www.g4dmp.co.uk | + - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - + ______________________________________________________________ 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
