[Elecraft] Audio Output

2006-09-04 Thread Arie Lukkassen
I have a question related to the audio signal of the K2. I have completed the base K2 and during stage 2 I was already concerned about the low audio output. I first thought that my headphone was to blame, a 16 ohm unit that is not able to transfer all the audio power from the amplifier but

If you know Wayne, you know he is a very environmentally responsible guy (Eric may be as well... we haven't talked about it). I can't imagine he would make that recommendation if it weren't absolutely necessary. With kits as complex as some of the Elecrafts are, there will inevitably be some

To the original poster who could not even receive. The RigBlaster is not used during receive. The audio goes straight from the K2 (I use the ext speaker jack) to the Line IN jack on your sound card. Until you can properly receive PSK, SSTV, RTTY, etc, there is no point in connecting up the

Finished my K2 a couple of days ago. At first TX output was allways full power. Adjustment via the front panel was not possible. Now the rig does not transmit at all but shows elecraft when hitting the key for a moment. Hard to do the rf-probing stuff with the transmitter out of action.
