Doug, Well, stuff like that happens to all of us at one time or another. When it happens to me, I just jot down a Dear Dummy note to myself and go on with life. Glad to hear you found it. 73, Don W3FPR Doug Heacock wrote: Boy, is my face red. For the benefit of those who helped with

Fabio, I cannot be specific, but the most probable area causing that trouble is the area of Q2 and Q3 (those direct the BFO signal either to the balanced modulator in SSB mode or back to the RF board for CW) or the balanced modulator U5. Check carefully to be certain diodes D5, D4 and D3

Gerhard, There could be a problem, or there may be no problem at all. What is the audio source and level that you are driving into the mic jack? If it is not a pure sine wave or the level is too high, it will have harmonics or (if too high a level) can cause harmonics if the balanced modulator

Hi Gerhard, Most reports of FM'ing I have been aware of have been due to a low power supply voltage and/or the voltage varying with the load. I have not heard a K2 with this problem, but it might be worth checking the power supply. gl Trev G3ZYY In message [EMAIL PROTECTED], Gerhard
