Re: [Elecraft] diff tx anf rec
Rolf, Is the frequency actually different in LSB or USB mode, or only for CW? CW should offset the frequency by the sidetone pitch value. If your K2 filters and BFOs are aligned properly, you should receive on the same frequency as the carrier transmit frequency in SSB mode, for CW mode, the dial display is shifted by the frequency that you have selected for the sidetone pitch. -- Note that the BFO for FL1 is always used for transmit, so if your filters are not all set for the same bandpass-center pitch, you will create a frequency offset. If you would like more detail information, check out the K2 Dial Calibration article on my website www.qsl.net/w3fpr. 73, Don W3FPR - Original Message - From: roffe [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: Thursday, August 05, 2004 4:48 PM Subject: [Elecraft] diff tx anf rec Why does my K2 have diffrent tx freq than rec freq ? no split fuinction regards Rolf ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

RE: [Elecraft] diff tx anf rec
If you zero beat an incoming CW signal to the SPOT tone, your transmit and receive should be on the same frequency UNLESS: 1 - You have SPLIT enabled (you said it's off so it's one of the following) 2 - You have RIT enabled that causes the receiver to tune independently using the RIT knob. 3 - You have XIT enabled that causes the transmit frequency to shift like RIT. Note that you must match the CW tone to your SPOT tone, not tune the incoming CW signal for true zero beat (no audio). The K2 automatically offsets the transmitter by that tone frequency to shift your TX frequency onto the received station's frequency.

[Elecraft] List header (To:) temporary change
It turns out Tim, the qth.net administrator, needs the 'personalization' option turned on in our list header for a week or so. He is trying to track down an AOL subscriber who is bouncing all of our list postings to him as SPAM. Unfortunately that user is subscribed under a forwarding alias, so we can't determine who they are unless we change the header configuration to show the actual 'To: 'address. (It normally shows the To: address as the list address, not the user receiving it.) If we do not resolve this AOL may lock out ALL of QTH.NET's lists. Sorry for the inconvenience! We should have this figured out shortly. 73, Eric WA6HHQ Elecraft list administrator ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Re: [Elecraft] Another dipole with a simpler tuner and feedline
My favorite dipole antenna is a 20 meter extended double zepp, fed with balanced line (450 ohm ladder line for home use or 300 ohm twinlead for portable/qrp operation). At 44 feet per leg, it can be set up as a horizontal doublet, a sloping doublet or an inverted vee. What you end up with is an 88 foot doublet. For best feedline balance, run the feedline perpendicular from the horizontal or sloping doublet. For the inverted vee, run the feedline at equal angles from, in between and in the same plane as the two legs of the antenna. Of course, the geometry of your yard and location of trees may limit your ability to run the feedline in this manner. Just do it as best you can, trying to keep the feedline perpendicular or equi-angular for at least a half wavelength at 20 meters, if possible. You can feed such an 88-foot doublet with an antenna tuner (for a remote tuner add a 1:1 coax choke balun on the input side of the tuner and at the transceiver, for internal/shack tuners add a 4:1 current balun on the output side of the tuner -the Elecraft BL1 works well for this application- and keep the coax line from the tuner to the balun as short as possible, just long enough to keep the balanced line out of the shack or away from the transceiver, but preferably no longer than 20 feet maximum). Such an antenna system, with a decent antenna tuner, will usually load up nicely on all bands, 80 through 10 meters. On 20 meters, it gives about 3 db of bidirectional gain over a dipole. On 17 meters, the pattern becomes a cloverleaf, with more lobes sprouting out as you go to shorter wavelengths. On 30, the bidirectional gain is about 1.6 db over a dipole. On 40, the antenna's pattern and gain is similar to a dipole and on 80, the pattern begins to become omnidirectional, with a reduction in bidirectional gain. For more details, go to http://www.cebik.com/88.html No room for an 88-foot doublet? Willing to forgo 80 meter operation? Try a 70 foot doublet (35 feet per leg). That's an extended double zepp for 17 meters and a slightly long 1/2 wave dipole on 40. It'll work well on 40 through 10. You can even get by with a 44 foot doublet (22 feet per leg), if you don't mind pushing the 3db extended double zepp advantage to 10 meters. 73, Martin W7MJM At 02:51 PM 8/5/04 -0500, you wrote: The Windom is not a cure all antenna, and indeed has a number of potential problems... ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Re: [Elecraft] K2
Rolf, Just a guess based on limited information -- if you have the Elecraft antenna tuner installed, you may have changed from ANT1 to ANT2 and have the antenna connected to ANT1. Ask what you have changed in the menu since it last worked. 73, Don W3FPR - Original Message - Hi everyone , not my day today my K2 just went total dead on 3.5 and 7.0 mhz and nothing out on the pa But it works on other band but I think with very low gain ?
