[Elecraft] DSP settings

Hi guysI just finished building and installing the KDSP2 in my K2 over the weekend and am trying to learn how to use it. One question on the Denoisermine sounds more like a lowpass filter than a denoiser...it does reduce the noise a little but seems to mostly just muffle itmaybe

[Elecraft] K2 receive sensitivity

2007-01-15 Thread Paul Del Negro
Hi to all on the reflector. I'd like to put something out here and see if others experience the same thing or if I possibly have a problem with my K2 sn5834. Someone (I don't remember who) mentioned that a great way to test receive sensitivity is to simply check for an increase in noise

I am hesitant to put this question up here because I have seen so many posts about it but here goes anyway. I love my K2 sn 05834 except for one thing...the sidetone. There seems to be excessive thumps (clicks?) on both make and break, especially when using the internal speaker. I know

[Elecraft] 160M HiCur

2006-12-07 Thread Paul Del Negro
I have been enjoying my newly built K2 #058xx for several weeks now. I have seen the posts about excessive current draw on 160, but many of them are involving the 100w amp, which I do not have (yet). Well, I have the same problem, draw sometimes exceeds 4 amps on 160. Power supply is stable

[Elecraft] K2 Power setting

2006-12-01 Thread Paul Del Negro
Is the requested output power of the K2 (ser# 058xx) limited by the firmware on 10 and 12 meters to 10 watts? When setting the power output on these bands (not key down) rotating the power control brings the display up to 10.0 at about 75 percent rotation on these 2 bands, and the remaining 25
