Re: [Elecraft] KX2 Drift During Field Day

Richard, Drift was seen on the KX2 digital display, and indicated by concomitant very mild audio distortion from being slightly off frequency. I am perfectly willing to accept that I may have just been getting a small bit of RFI, but was just curious if anyone else has seen this behavior before.

Are you talking about the output frequency as measured on another device? Or the numeric readout on the radio's own display? I've seen shifts in some situations on 2m, which I think was RF getting into it. If you turn off Mic Up/Down button control maybe it will help there. I've had issues where

That was my thought, too. Dang, that is excellent frequency stability! The spec is "+/- 1 ppm typical at 25 C after 5-minute warm-up." wunder K6WRU Walter Underwood CM87wj http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) > On Jun 29, 2020, at 5:20 PM, Jay Rutherford wrote: > > ONE Hertz?? > > 73 >

1 hz? My hallicrafters crystal controlled oscillator was rated less than 400 hz an hour drift after warm- up (it will do much better than that after 1 hour of warmup), That was considered very stable in 1962. I still use it in short qsos where I barely hear 10 hz of drift in 5 minutes, after

All, I have KX2 s/n 2862. I noticed while operating Field Day that, about every 15 minutes, it would drift down 1 Hz. Has anyone else ever seen this in their KX2? I will admit it is possible this was just the effect of RF getting back into the rig, but at 10W, I'm not really sure where
