I have three sources in my home that the KNB2 works well on and is great for testing:
1) As Ron says...any light dimmer or touch-operated lamp 2) Electric razor plugged into the wall or held near the radio 3) Electronic ignition of my furnace...turn up the heat and listen to the zapping of the ignitor for a few seconds. As far as working other K2's...I called CQ on 10M during the summer on a dead band and a VP8 with a K2 came back. He's the only one I know with whom I had a 2-way K2-K2 QSO. Where do you like to hang out on HF Robin? Maybe you can generate a pileup of K2's calling you? 73 de Tom K2TA ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robin Kiszka-Kanowitz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <elecraft@mailman.qth.net> Sent: Monday, December 26, 2005 1:53 PM Subject: [Elecraft] How can the KNB2 be tested? Hi, I have also recently built this unit and the only way I could test it was by scratching the antenna input with a metal object. I can hear that it removes the 'clicks' out of the peaks, but I have not been able to test it against real pulse noise. Whatever else I have tried hasn't seemed to make a difference, then again, it may not have been pulsed noise. 73 Robin OZ6ABM _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
