Great post Ron, this is the reason I have stuck with the Elecraft reflector. And also why I now own all three elecraft rigs. I have learned so much by reading the discussions even when they do not apply to me or seem important. Doc, YI9RVT/KE4RVT ___

Thanks for further comments. Yes the internal counter cable is removed. I should also have made clear that my tests have been on unkeyed transmitted carrier, and have been with both the 100W pa on and off by appropriate setting of the power control. I have recently checked the pa bias setting

It is my belief that a lot a technical aspects of Elecraft products are being discussed 'Off Reflector' between specific interested individuals. I think that, because these discussions are not seen by the group, a lot of useful information is being missed. I would like to see these in-depth tech

Morning Fraser, Your comments understood, and I agree with you about the design / production engineering. There is the possibility that a Rx /Tx switch in the signal path and using diodes, is acting as a noise generator. The noise could be driving the QRO stage as an independent source, or could

Bob; I have a mod that will reduce the K2 phase noise. The implementation of the mod is not easy. Some of the changes require the ability to measure phase noise, and most folks don't have this capability. The mod can also degrade the PLL stability. Therefore, I do not plan on publishing the mo

Er, ah, I wasn't aware the K2 made any objectionable noise. What's your specific issue? Dan / WG4S / K2 #2456 Has anyone come up with a mod that reduces phase noise on the K2? Thanks, Bob ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net Y
