Hi all, i would like to decribe a problem I am faced with my K2. Every evening I reconized a AGC problem on 40m band. My signal meter shows S8 to S9 and it sounds like RF-Gain is turned counter clockwise. If i use ATT to reduce the signal level it does not help. The signals will drop down but it still sounds like AGC is to high.
I assume it is related to the big signals from broadcast band here in europe. However, further I am not sure if my ALC is working correct. I recoginized following : If I disconnect my antenna from K2 and turn AGC ON/OFF I hear a recognizable difference. I tried to adjust R1 to get the same level. In my case I got the same level if R1 is set to the minimum value. If I do so it looks like the RF- Gain pot has no effect anymore. I assume this is not the intention. I turned it back to the recommended value to get 3.8 volts now. Any comments where I can investigate are welcome. 73 de Joerg (DL3QQ) _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
