FYI - 50 microvolts is the widely accepted "S9" signal level, not 20 over. I would guess the 1uV is around S1, but not sure about that one. More info in the Elecraft manual on the XG1 or XG2. Jerry W4UK At 10:43 AM 12/2/2007, Kurt Pawlikowski wrote: Sarah, ... I'm told that in a properly adju

Sarah, While I'm not familiar with the VX-7R and don't own a K2, it sounds like things are working. If you receive something from the noise generator and the signal generator (particularly if you switch the latter to 1 micro-volt), your rig is probably working correctly. I don't know how m

Sarah If the 50 uV signal generator indicates a signal level of around S9 on your K2, that is exactly how it should be. Your length of wire in the room may not receive signals well, depending on the type of materials used to build your house it could be shielding signals by quite a few dBs.

Hi All, Good news... I got my K2's replacement voltage regulator (LM2930T-8) from Elecraft on Friday. Today I took out the old one and put in the new one... the output of the voltage regulator is now 8.04 volts, which is a whole lot better than the 7.53 volts I had gotten before! And afte
