Hi, I never used my K2 for SSB, but now I would like too. My 9 year old daughter wants to get on it and I am getting my first yagi, so I do not need to use CW all the time :).
My K2 is S/N 2555. I have very inadequate power out and compression really distorts my audio (60 W on 40 with SSBA3, 5 W with SSBA 1). From reading and some suggestions I found out, I probably should do these mods: http://www.qrpproject.de/Media/pdf/SSBModsUK.pdf. This should fix weak and raspy modulation. Eventually, I really would like to have adequate SSB output/modulation and also add the DSP board. Now, the issue is my SSB board is revision D, and the mods document describes I should have Rev E. I seem to have 2 options: 1. Figure out the difference between Rev D and Rev E (or Rev G as it is current) and fix my board up, or 2. Get a new SSB board for $120 and do the mods on that one. For 1) I am not sure if this is easily done. Where can I find out what the differences are between these boards.I know I have the filters matched between the RF and SSB boards, so this could create problems when getting a new board as in option 2), unless I reuse the old filters. Would it be possible to get the new board, use the old filters and plug it in in my rather old RF board? I am not sure what I should do. Any recommendations are appreciated. Thanks Andy, KU7T, K2 #2555 ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
