[Elecraft] Problems because of filter switch during CW operation K2/ Filter FL4

2005-06-17 Thread Renardy, Martin
Dear all, I ran through the K2 filter aligment considering all your tipps and tricks. I also adjuest the reference oscillator on the control board again. My filter bandwidths are 1.5 kHz, 700 Hz, 500 Hz and 200 Hz (Filter FL1 to FL4). I have used Spectrogram to align the filters. The settings

Martin: The Elecraft K2 CW filters are a bit unusual in that, as you 'narrow' the passband, only one side of the xtal passband moves much. Thus, as you narrow the passband, the center freq will shift inward a bit with each narrowing of the passband. Take a look at the illustration of the

Dear KW2 CW operators, yesterday evening I was running into a problem during CW operation with the K2. I called CQ using the 1.5 KHz CW filter on 20m and got response from a couple of US stations. The signals have been quite weak ( RST 33 ), but I have managed to copy a call sign and to give

Dear Martin, If your narrow filters are aligned using the Spectrogram software so that they are all centered on your cw tone (say 600 Hz), then all you need is to zero beat the signal while in the 1.5 kHz filter, and then it will stay centered even at 100 Hz. The instructions for finding and
