Hello Elecraft Community, I have recently built the K2/10 and have enjoyed listening to the receiver. I have more recently added the KSB2 SSB adapter and have noticed my voice is either very high-pitched or low-pitched on an external receiver while using a 50-ohm dummy load.
After spending some time on the issue of SSB voice on transmit, I realized that if I mistune the K2 on transmit that my voice would appear to sound normal with no humming on an external receiver. The following are examples: 10m 28529.45u from K2 to external receiver set at 28530.00 (-550 Hz on K2 side) 12m 24939.19u from K2 to external receiver set at 24940.00 (-810 Hz on K2 side) 15m 21229.30u from K2 to external receiver set at 21230.00 (-700 Hz on K2 side) 17m 18119.35u from K2 to external receiver set at 18120.00 (-650 Hz on K2 side) 20m 14159.70u from K2 to external receiver set at 14160.00 (-300 Hz on K2 side) 40m 7149.75L from K2 to external receiver set at 7150.00 (-250 Hz on K2 side) 80m. 3750.30L from K2 to external receiver set at 3750.00 (+300Hz on K2 side) I have previously adjusted C22 using an external frequency counter on TP3 along with the K2’s frequency counter probe to get the readings from both the external frequency and K2’s to match. And yes, I’ve adjusted the filter and BFO settings per the KSB2 operating instructions. I would welcome any suggestions to get a resolve to this problem. 73, John - KF6QPC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
