Ah, I think you're just describing SSB. It makes everyone sound like Donald Duck.
OK, joking aside, I remember with my K2, there was a LOT of change in sound that happened during filter alignment. If the alignment parameters were off by just a bit the SSB audio would be dark & muffled or thin and harsh. My guess is that you didn't have the filter parameters set quite right. With the K3, you have the option (which I took) of going factory assembled. No Donald Ducks in my rig. Of course, that is because I stick to CW only. :-) - Keith N1AS - - K3 711 - -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Gil WA5YKK Sent: Friday, February 13, 2009 12:38 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Elecraft] K3 "Donald Duck" 20 meters & above I'm making slow progress in getting my QTH ready for playing with the new rigs, and since I've experienced a problem with my K2 now sounding like "Donald Duck" on SSB, all bands 20 meters and above, I'm wondering if something went sour in a circuit, or if there's a simple realignment I need to do? After the initial alignment with help from an expert, it was doing fine, but I either bumped something while making a change, or fouled up a circuit. Does anyone have a simple solution, or is this a case of sending the box in for the experts, since I don't have time for days, weeks, or a month to figure it out. It was a surprise to be unable to clear up the USB voices one day, listening on 20 through 10 meters, then got excellent results on 40 & 80 meters! Now, the guessing and consternation sets in. Thanks for any suggestion aside from "use as a doorstop or stick to CW only". ______________________________________________________________ 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
