Sorry- did not fully see the problem The receiver is not working on any band not just 40. Sounds like band noise on all bands (sounds the same on every band). Did a comparison with a second K3 to confirm the no receiver problem on all bands. Previously found by rotating some of the tmp

Check everything in CW transmit first, including the VFO frequencies at the band edges. Then check your SSB filter alignment (and CW too) with Spectrogram to make certain the filter passbands are aligned correctly.  The FL1 filter for both USB and LSB must be set to OP1. Set things properly

James, As I indicated, with the K2, the LSB used on 17 meters and below is the same sideband as used for USB on 15 meters and above. Since the 6 meter transceiver uses a 28 MHz IF (assuming it is an Elecraft XV50), then the USB transmission will be the same as the LSB transmission on the

Re: [Elecraft] [K2] Very Low SSB on 20 Meters

2019-07-26 Thread Don Wilhelm
James, Is this a K2 or a K3? In the K2, the sidebands are reversed on 15 meters and above, and there is no 6 meters in the K2. What I am saying is that if LSB works on the lower bands, then USB should work on 15 meters and above - if this is a K2. If it is a K3, then ignore my responses.
