Craig, For K2 rig control software, I am familiar with 2 - Ham Radio Deluxe which is free for download and includes PSK31 (http://hrd.ham-radio.ch/), and Carl Morescheski's N4PY software (http://www.ralabs.com/n4py/) which is not free, but does provide CW support and supports the K1EL Winkey.

FWIW, I heartly endorse Ham Radio Deluxe. I control my Icom 706 from my computer and it is fantastic. Caught 2 Spain stations CW on 20 last night using the DX Cluster on the software. Jerry Griffin will send you the free software plus the cable from computer to radio for $20.00 or I guess you

[Elecraft] xmit and receive frequencies different

2005-08-22 Thread Merlarts
Hi gang, My K2 (2631) with KSB2 doesn't transmit and receive on the same frequency. There's about a 70Hz difference on lower sideband and 50Hz on upper. The transmit frequency is always lower than the receive frequency. Carrier supression is great, transmit audio sounds good, and I'm

You really need to use spectrograph to align your filters...your transmitter is probably on frequency it's just your filters aren't properly centered so your receive is off. Gregg R. Lengling, W9DHI, Un-Retired K2/100 SN 3075 http://www.milwaukeehdtv.org - Original Message - From:

You didn't mention whether you were using Linux, Mac, or Windows. For Linux, try Marote, XLog, and gMFSK. If you like them, you can add features to them: gMFSK does do CW and Olivia, but lacks the ability to monitor multiple QSOs, so if you can write UI code that would be a good way to pay

Craig, I like MixW. I have it set up where I can push the most important buttons for the K2 with macros. I mostly like the real time spectrum display. I would not want to do without it if I didn't have to. I like being able to see a little slice of the band while I'm tuning around. It also greatly

Merlin, I believe a thorough filter alignment using Spectrogram to see the de-modulated audio spectrum will straighten things around for you. It is CAL FIL that you need to run, not CAL PLL, If you are not familiar with using Spectrogram for the K2 filter alignment, take a look at my webpage

Many thanks to all who answered, including those who helpfully suggested that I might be using RIT or XIT without knowing it. I just put a frequency counter on the BFO on my K2, and it changes about 70Hz when it goes from receive to transmit. Yeah, I know, there's not supposed to be

Merlin, First, yes, be certain RIT and XIT are truly not active, then see if the VBFO signal changes voltage (be certain you are in SSB mode) when switching from transmit to receive - monitor control board U10 pin 14. If it does change, I would venture a guess that the firmware THINKS either

I will be ordering a new K2 kit in the next few days, complete with K160RX, KAF2, KNB2, and KSB2. In the future I may add the KPA100 or KAT2. I would like to add the components that are supplied with the KPA100 and KAT2 as I build the K2 to avoid having add components onto the K2 boards later.

My last K2 had the standard tilt stand, and I found it okay, but perhaps a bit too high. I will be ordering a new K2 in the next few days and wonder if I should also order the 1.5 inch tilt stand. Anybody using the 1.5 inch tilt stand on a K2? What do you think of it? -- Darrell Bellerive
