((I have K2 06660 with KAT-100, KDSP2, KNB2-R, KPA100-R, KSB2-R, KUSB installed.)) ((Currently in process of replacing KSB2's U3 for SSB problem. Can not transmit SSB. (Posted on this site last week and got 3 direct responses within several hours! New part fm. Elecraft in 2 days!))) Kit is assem, aligned as directed in var. instrs. I notice max. audio volume not very high - thru spkr. or headph., barely enuf w AF Gain up all the way. KDSP [AFIL] and XFIL set to FL1 and SF1 in def. config. NB off. Tried turn off AGC but no signif. chg. in perf. W/ auto-tuner, using Elecraft 1:1 balun (in wprf. box) and temp. 50 ft dipole at abt. 8 ft /gnd outside. Better (dipole and later vert) when stops raining.. and I get busy. A notice sensitivity not great. Get reception all bands and, w noise source, can find it on all bands. Hear some stations (CW and Phone) on 80M and 40M bands with occas. sigs. other bands - but then conds. poor & so is antenna. Curious why, even tho. hear some sigs, must always use preamp [PRE} and S Meter never shows anything, maybe a S1 but never higher. Compared sensitivity w portable Sony ICF-SW7600 and heard more signals (and noise too, and birdies!) on the Sony. What do other K2 owners suggest re making sure that alignment and sensitivity are per-specs? 73 DE AF6TB, Tom **************You're invited to Hollywood's biggest party: Get Oscars updates, red carpet pics and more at Moviefone.
