[Elecraft] K3 - Speaker resonance

2008-12-18 Thread Fred Jensen
I *always* use headphones, but had a visitor in the shack and turned on the speaker for, I think, the first time. There is a really annoying resonance that occurs at much lower AF gain levels than I normally run. My pitch is set at 600 Hz and it is pretty distorted at moderately low levels.

My K3 speaker performs flawlessly and puts out wonderful audio until NR is turned on. It then produces some shrill resonances at some frequencies. I find these resonances disappear when using NR on external speakers. I owe an apology to Lyle Johnson for blaming the problem on noise

I installed 1/8 ID rubber grommets in the speaker mounting slots, and ran the screws through these. This fixed all my funny mechanical resonance problems. Phil - AD5X ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a

After a rather hectic month, I finally got my K3 on the air this afternoon. (Worked by coincidence another K3: WA7VHO)). But unfortunately my unit (from the kit) has a speaker resonance with the cabinet at about 700 Hz or so. (Not good for a CW op!) As others may have had this problem, could they

I've seen N6XI tweak the resonance of his K3's speaker by slightly tightening or loosening one or more of the top screws that attach the speaker to the case. Dick, K6KR -- Original message -- From: Allan Taylor [EMAIL PROTECTED] After a rather hectic month, I
