Re: [Elecraft] K2 XIT/RIT

Chris - Do not be misled by the fact that on CW the K2 transmits on the frequency as displayed, whereas many of the oriental black boxes transmit a fixed number of Hz (maybe 600Hz) different to the displayed frequency to give the required offset. I have encountered a similar problem with

David, thanks. I think I have sorted it all, at least on CW! I have just re-aligned with the Spectrograph. The MP has on offset in the display I recall, so displayed is actual frequency, (I think!) Now, simulating a QSO, ie transmitting on K2 and tuning in on MP, then txing on MP and

Chris, What you are seeing is correct. Only when you go onto transmit will you see the effect of the XIT on the frequency readout. If you want to know exactly what frequency you will be transmitting on with XIT selected then you can select the RIT as well. Of course you need to deselect the RIT

Chris, hen the K2 is in receive, the receive frequency only is displayed. In transmit, the transmit frequency is displayed (hard to see during keying). Check the K2 manual page 94 for information on how RIT and XIT work - when XIT is on, you can see the transmit frequency during receive by also

Firstly thanks to everyone who answered my query, either on the Reflector or privately. I can confirm that everything that you all suggest should happen is happening. So from the RIT/XIT point there is no problem with my K2 and I was using it correctly. On rethinking this I wonder if I have

Thanks Don. I will check tmw, it's getting late here now. Maybe I have got the wrong sideband, that would certainly explain a lot. Yes, that is what I was doing. Just toggling RIT button to check when he was txing and then to find the station he was working. BTW, thanks. You gave me my own
