case is on 28 MHZ where it is 260 Hz. Do you have any ideas Don? 73, Igor UA9CDC - Original Message - From: Don Wilhelm w3...@embarqmail.com To: Igor Sokolov ua9...@gmail.com Cc: Elecraft Reflector elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: Monday, April 23, 2012 11:48 PM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K2

Igor, What mode? How are you determining that the TX and RX frequencies are different? There should be no difference in SSB, and in CW the difference should be equal to the sidetone pitch. 73, Don W3FPR On 4/23/2012 1:23 PM, Igor Sokolov wrote: The problem was finally tracked down to

Igor, After giving your question some thought - I would suggest making another attempt with the K2 set to receive on the FL1 filter (the same filter as used for transmit). If you still have the shift between TX and RX, the problem is most likely in the way the the sidetone shift offset is

Just discovered that knocking RF board in the region of the K14 and K15 relays makes the problem to appear or disappear. The offset does not depend on the CW pitch setting and is close to 1 khz. __ My K2 developed a problem. In CW mode TX

Igor, When the problem appears, is the offset always the same plus minus say 5 Hz? Also, did you try knocking the RF board in the region of the PLL reference oscillator's crystal X1? 73, Geoff LX2AO On April 08, 2012 at 10:28 +0200, Igor Sokolov wrote: Just discovered that knocking RF

Igor, An intermittent problem of that nature is usually associated with a bad solder connection. Reflow the soldering (adding a little bit of flux from new solder) with a hot (400 degC) iron. 73, Don W3FPR On 4/8/2012 4:28 AM, Igor Sokolov wrote: Just discovered that knocking RF board in the

2012-04-07 Thread Igor Sokolov
My K2 developed a problem. In CW mode TX frequency is off the RX frequency by about 1 kHz. The problem is intermittent. Sometimes it manifests itself, sometimes it does not. Can anybody give me a hint where to look? I was about to see if changing CW pitch changes the offset but so far cannot make
