Thanks, guys. It seems my problem was one of absent mindedness. I had left the noise blanker on in my 930. The result was that I was hearing K2 key clicks that weren't actually there. Once I disabled the noise blanker, things sounded great. As you two noted, the AGC was not affecting the testing. I also took a look at the RF envelope on my scope and was pleased to see what Elecraft had shown in the key click mod document.

The only thing that should be added to Vic's procedure is that you should keep the power output of the transmitter being tested down enough so that the signal in the monitir receiver is S9 or less. I've tested many rigs for klix monitoring in of my many ham receivers and AGC on/off does not make a bit of difference, as long as you do it as Vic and I described (which is the *only* proper way). BTW, of the many rigs I've checked for klix, the K2 with the click mod is the cleanest of all. I believe the click mod is now incorporated in all new K2 kits. 73, de Earl, K6SE _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
