Gareth, Since you are using DM780, yes you can see the 100 Hz subcarrier. I usually use the Spectrogram 'scope display and that subcarrier is there but it is a low amplitude and becomes "lost" in low frequency 'trash' like any 60 Hz noise in the computer soundcard and the zero frequency spur.

Thanks Don Since sending that email, I'd come across Wayne's article on the mechanics of CAL FIL. That opened my eyes to something I'd read, but clearly not absorbed: i.e. when a modified BFO is saved, the K2 re-calculates the value of VCO needed to obtain the same AF tone as before. Although th

Gareth, That is NOT correct. You must do things in order and all will work out properly. First, the 100 Hz WWV subcarrier should be outside the passband of the SSB filters, so it will have a very low amplitude. It is better to use the alternating 500 and 600 Hz as well as the 'on the minute' t

Unfortunately the shift in dial calibration between filter settings is due to the limited resolution of the DAC converters that control the BFO. It is a design compromise, not much you can do about it. If you adjust the reference oscillator, eg. by using Wayne’s procedure, then you need to run

I realise this is close to becoming an obsession, but I really want to understand what's going on. Once I'd gone through my modified version of Wayne's process for adjusting the VCO (i.e. adjusting the VFO to have the WWV 100Hz sub-carrier on 100Hz), I realised that this applied only to LSB FIL1.

I'll be the third to chime in on how useful the spectrogram method of aligning filters is. The first time around (without spectogram) I noticed similar results as you did, then I did the spectrogram alignment and it got *much* better, but it still wasn't right. Third time, it got even better. I'll

Nick, I wholeheartedly second this. I followed the manual and noticed the same thing you did. When I hooked up Spectrogram I could clearly see that the narrower filters were off center. I adjusted while watching the Spectrogram screen and things sound *much* better. Craig AC6NN --

Nick, Sometimes the filters (particularly the narrower ones) do not respond well to the initial numbers in the manual because the filter center may be shifted a bit due to the particular set of matched crystals supplied. I don't think you have a problem. There is a solution, and that is called '
