[Elecraft] K2 adjusting L34

2013-08-15 Thread Pdn0528
I know there has been lots of discussion but I just made a change which solved everything. I noticed that the peak was at the top most rotation of L34, so I changed C182 from 180pf to 120 pf (npo). Now, using an external sig gen, not the 7k birdie, there is a pronounced peak about halfway down L34.

JT, Those all look good, but really do not tell us much - you have to be the judge of when the peak of the signal has the greatest difference to the noise floor. You really should crank in a bit more soundcard gain - that will allow you to see the noise floor across the entire screen rather

It looks like I goofed in my last screen captures. Here are some new shots, one for each filter setting, of my tweaking L34 with Spectrogram. 1.5 kHz Filter: http://tinyurl.com/2rla5d 700 Hz http://tinyurl.com/2k9p7f 400 Hz http://tinyurl.com/2lrr8p 200 Hz http://tinyurl.com/3dyj37 I haven't

JT and Don, Could the weak(-53 dB) spike just be 2nd harmonic of the audio fundamental spike? The main spike looks a bit lower than 600 Hz? Just a thought to save looking for another source of the spurious signal. 73, Mike, K8CN K2 #5569 Quoting Don Wilhelm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

JT, Turn the AF gain (or the soundcard line-in setting) up a bit until the noise in the passband becomes a bit greater. After that, adjust L34 for the greatest difference between the signal and the noise floor. Expect some difficulty in determining the proper point - the peak S/N ratio is sti

Decided to try pre-aligning L34 using Spectrogram. However, I've never played with Spectrogram or anything of the like before. This screenshot shows the best Signal to Noise ratio I could come up with. Does this look about right? http://tinyurl.com/3bd3m2 Internal signal was found right at 7 M
