[Elecraft] K2 BFO drift problem

2014-04-13 Thread TheMG .
Well, a few weeks ago I finished assembling and testing my K2 S/N 7520 and the KPA100, KSB2, K60XV, and K160RX options. All went without any problems at and have had several successful QSO with it. However, since then I've been noticing quite severe BFO drift. I have to re-align the filters using
