The reasons to get a K4D over a K4 I think are only: 1) You need diversity receive. 2) You need to receive on two frequencies on different bands while still having bandpass filters engaged (the K4 can receive on 2 separate bands at once, but it has to bypass bandpass filters). On Fri, Nov 5, 2021

2021-11-05 Thread Dave Van Wallaghen
GM James, I think you will be fine with a 15.4KHz range. The problem when approaching ranges much greater than that is that although the K2 firmware will linearize the VFO adequately, the granularity of fine increments may start to suffer, and it'll be more susceptible to temperature change.

To follow up on my question about the PLL range test, how critical is it to be at or below 15Khz? Currently I am at 15.40Khz after playing around with the winding spread. The errata sheet says to be between 9.98Khz and 15Khz difference in the high and low reading. 73 James, KJ4KEM > On
