Hello all! I am proud to say that K2 sn 6688 is alive and well in Hutchinson, KS, USA
I finished up all of the preliminary testing and alignment, then built the option boards (DSP, SSB, NB, 60mtr, 160mtr). A few minutes ago I did some over-the-air checks on 40mtrs with a friend across town. All sounded good to him, so needless to say I am pleased. There was one glitch though, we shifted up to 28.400, and my audio level dropped way off. I had to practically yell in the mike for my friend to hear me. Is this a common thing that 10mtrs needs more punch or do I have a problem? Any ideas on what I might be able to do? I saw something in the manual about changing r15 on the SSB board, but I think that only applies to SSBA level 1, I was set at SSBA level 3, SSBC 1-1. When I received the "box 'o parts" I was a bit intimidated. After perusing the manual I was put very much at ease and pressed on. The manual was so well written I think that anyone with an appropriate soldering iron could put it together. The biggest thrill I have is when I tackle a project, be it for work where I do building automation programming, or building a kit like this, is when you are finished and it all works as you expect. What a wonderful project this has been! 73 de Allen, W1SBY ______________________________________________________________ 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
