Hi all, Not meaning to add to the wealth of info already on this topic, but I have a specific question about the "setting up your CW filters for the tonally challenged" article on the elecraft website.
Specifically, part of the instructions in it to read the BFO frequencies after audibly finding the passband centers for each filter width. It instructs you to switch to Rev to get it to display the BFO freq. rather than the BFx number. My question is, why not just hit Display which shows the freq. already? I see the article was written in 1999, was there not the Display capability in the older K2's? Reason I ask is I decided to revisit my filter alignment (partly for an educational exercise to learn how this all works) and after fighting with a spectrum analyzer (iSpectrum on the mac, which just got me way off each time) I abandoned ship and tried this method. I was all set to put Spectrogram on my work machine and use that instead to try again but this seems to work far better. By doing it with the displayed frequencies, I got the filters utterly nailed in both normal and reverse simple as pie (after once doing the math wrong and aligning each one on the wrong side hi hi, like I said a great learning experience). If I want to change the pitch of the sig, I just push a pencil on the numbers and viola I have all the settings.... Just wondering if this is too easy and I'm doing something wrong hi hi? 73, LS W5QD -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/K2-filter-alignment-question-tp4756522p4756522.html Sent from the [K2] mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ 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
