[Elecraft] K2 Filter Alignment: USB vs. LSB, CW vs. CW-Rev

2004-07-13 Thread Linden, Mike (BRC-Hes)
Once I get to the Stage III alignment on my K2, I plan on using Spectrogram to align the CW and SSB filters/BFOs. It seems that proper filter alignment is a juggling act between the following: 1) Proper centering of the signal within the filter's passband: For the most part, CW should be

Hi, Michael! Criteria 1) is not possible at the wider filter bandwidths without losing single-signal reception (hearing the signal on only one side of zero beat). Consider this: you choose a sidetone of 600 Hz. If the filter bandwidth is 2000 Hz and you center the signal in the bandwidth, then

Hi Actually this is fairly easy to do with spectrogram. First use the new method listed on the Elecraft website to make sure C22 is set right. I use the 600 and 500 Hz tones on 10 Mhz WWV to get the tuning right on a 600 and 500 Hz marker in spectrogram. Then go back and forth between TP2 and

Michael, Actually there is no real connection between hearing the same pitch when switching between LSB and USB and proper filter alignment like there is with CW and CWr. The SSB passband will pass a wide range of tones even if the passband is severely mis-aligned. The only observation one can

The biggest differences that I've seen between the expensive and cheap DMM's are: 1 - Speed. Cheap DMM chips take a second or two to produce a reading. Expensive ones are almost instantaneous. That's only a small nuisance unless you are trying to find a 'peak' or 'null' in the reading while

Hi all: I have spent the last 3 years building a K2 with all the add-ons. The reason it took so long was that 95% of the work was being done by my 15 yr-old daughter, Zane, W2YL. She is a superb kit-builder, but she has a multitude of interests -- especially athletics (swimming and
