Re: [Elecraft] K2 RF gain control triggers sloooow agc action
Hi Keith, Well blow me down ! I twiddled the rf pot a couple of dozen times and guess what ? It's OK now ! Must have been a bit of dirt in the pot. I might get a spare on my next order to Elecraft.so that's 1 x K3 with 100w pa , 1x 1500watt PA module , 1x rf pot ... Many thanks. Am copying this to the reflector for reference purposes in case someone else has the same problem . 73 de Vic GW4JUN Message: 4 From: Darwin, Keith keith.dar...@goodrich.com Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K2 RF gain control triggers slw agc action Is it a noisy pot?

[Elecraft] K2 RF gain control triggers sloooow agc action ?
Hi Folks, Recently I have noticed that my K2 has developed a strange effect. If I move (even very slightly) the rf gain control the audio silences and the S meter shows full deflection. After about three seconds or so the receiver recovers and the s meter returns to normal. This happens wherever teh rf gain control is positioned about it's axis. My K2 is no 1926 and currently has the original af gain circuit. I do have the Elecraft mod to cure the noise problem but it is not yet fitted. Any suggestions ? 73 de Vic GW4JUN -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter. We are a community of 6 million users fighting spam. SPAMfighter has removed 212 of my spam emails to date.
