[Elecraft] K2/XV144 Power Overshoot

2005-05-21 Thread Glenn McNeil
Hi Gang, I've got a problem with my K2/XV144 combination when using a Linear after the XV144. I've setup the combination correctly ( I think) and it works fine barefoot...max power of 5w from the K2 to drive the XV144 easily gives me 25w plus out on 144 Mhz As soon as I hook up my 4CX800 Lin

Hi again Group, Well, my K2 is 100% after all. In less then 30 minutes from my posting, I had help at hand from no less the 3 Elecrafters who quickly put me right. My fault in not actually looking at the BFO freq's as I ran CAL FIL using Spectrogram...I cunningly put the BFO on the wrong side

Hi Group, I've just recently finished a K2, S/N 4630. It has DSP, SSB, 160M Option,KI02 and the K60XV. All appeared well until today, when I noticed that tapping the DISPLAY Button from the frequency display to the DSP Menu, I get a cyclic beep...or burp. It changes frequency from DSP on to
