Mike, That sounds like some old component failing as it warms up. Have you checked all electrolytic capacitors in the circuit(s)? I have a couple of radios from the '90s that I've had to re-cap, and my 1993 Ford truck has three electrolytics in its main engine control computer that were bad. I'm sure that there are other active components that could fail, but lately, my experience has been that electronics from the '90s and early 2000s seem to have bad capacitors fairly often.
73, Jim KO5V "Jim I use a resistordivider to get the right level to the k2 and also ferritcords on all cabels that enter the symetrix. I have the same level of the distortion if I run 500w with amp to an antenna or only 1w to a dummyload so I hope I am right to rule out rf feedback as the cause. Also that I have used the same setup for many years without any problems make me think that something has happend to the k2 but I can be wrong. The strange thing that is confusing me is when the k2 been turned of over the night there is almost no distorsion when I start to transmitt . then it slowly arrives in the first couple of minutes. 73 Mike sm3xgm" ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
