[Elecraft] Spectrum not clean.

2007-02-25 Thread Jesus L. Paleo
My K2 is full operative since 10-febr, today I decide to see in the spectrum analizer how clean is the output and check the power output in a calibrated power meter. The K2 has the ATU inside, so aditional filter in in line with the output. Power is 13.2W from 3.5 to 18, down to 12W at 21Mhz,

Hi Dom, thanks by your fast answer, as usual. For now i rebuild the T2 transformer, the new one is at 2 mm from pcb and is exactly as the manual show. No diference at power was noted at any band, just as before. Recheck at band pass filters parts was also done, and all is rigth there. So i

[Elecraft] ARRL contest

I finished the K2 the days before ARRL contest, time to build a 10m higt antena, no traps and no coil in the base, all the job for the ATU inside K2. The keyer was the built in in the K2, no CT, i want to check all the K2, not only the radio part, so Fast play ant all the other features was

I am happy, my K2 is ready to his first qso, just waiting by a decent antenna, now receive signals in DX 80m band. Just one BFO setting question. This is a only cw K2, no ssb module pluged, all the setting are fine but in USB the bfo at Call Fill can not get a frequency as in other modes, in

[Elecraft] 8v tx voltage

2007-02-07 Thread Jesus L. Paleo
Hello all, i am in the adjust phase of build my K2. My main problem not solved yet is that 8V tx voltage line is with 5.1 v permanet. Microprocesor tx order is down and rx is up, so here all is rigth, colector of Q1 is with 5.1. Also RX voltage seem to be down, not 8V but 6.5. Receiver work, i
