LS, Great progress. Congratulations.
Make note that the 4.000 MHz reference oscillator setting that is correct may differ slightly from exactly 4.000 MHz - so don't exhaust too much effort on getting it 'right on' using any kind of measuring device - there is a better way. After you have your K2 finished, use the "N6KR" method (by Wayne Burdick himself) to set the reference oscillator precisely - it requires only the internal counter probe and the ability to receive a known frequency (like WWV at 10 MHz or 15 MHz) on the K2. I could not find the not locate the document on the Elecraft website a few minutes ago, but it is preserved on my website - see http://www.w3fpr.com/n6kr_method.htm for the content of Wayne's original reflector post. While you are going to that trouble, why not do the entire job of calibrating the K2 dial reading. For full information on how to accomplish that as well as supplimental information on setting the K2 filters, look at the atricle on my website www.w3fpr.com dealing with Setting the K2 Dial Calibration - the whole procedure is explained there including the use of Spectrogram. The full explanation take longer to read than to actually do it - walk through the steps once and the second time it will be easy. 73, Don W3FPR lstavenhagen wrote: > Fortunately for the 4.00 mhz oscillator adjustment I have my 706MKIIG which > is pretty well calibrated via WWV over the years I've owned it, so I have > been able to get it pretty close there.
