I just had occasion to listen to my K2 with another receiver (my KX1) for the first time in a long time. The received note is much ... harsher than I'd expect. There seems to be a harmonic an octave or so down from the main carrier, so there's a fairly complex tone coming across rather than pure sine.
I don't often listen to my output, probably poor practice on my part. The last time I did, it sounded better than this. With the radios reversed, that is sending on the KX1 and listening on the K2, the KX1 sounds much better/purer. The main thing I've done recently is add the key shaping mod... which led to some power out problems that I haven't dug into yet (the power bounces more than I'd expect, and it's hard to get exactly 5w out on the RF meter). Should I be concerned about this? How do I go about diagnosing? Thanks! 73 de chris K6DBG _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.
