I'd like to know of a good procedure for the IF Alignment (L34). I tried it with Spectrogram but I really don't see any definite "best" alignment point; same for doing it by ear.
As for the AGC Threshold adjustment... I read somewhere (sorry, i forget who) that you should adjust it just to the point where turning on the AGC does not result in a reduction of low-level rcvr noise (no antenna). I tried this and it makes for a really hot receiver. 73, Drew AF2Z On Sun, 30 Sep 2007 12:30:40 -0400, David Wilburn wrote: >I have been using my K2 for a bit now.
