[Elecraft] BFO resets itself after cal fil (K2)

2012-04-29 Thread Erik Linder
Hi all, I decided to recalibrate the filters in my K2 because I noticed a small RX-TX frequency difference which made it hard to use my NUE-PSK. But I didn't get the calibration working... I enter filter calibration menu. I select FL1 in open-mode. I adjust (in RX) the BFO and watch the audio

[Elecraft] External manual tuner?

Hi, My K2 #4904 is now on air! SSB and RS232 option is still in their bags, but the basic K2 is up and running! (Yes, I'm pretty proud of myself ;-) I tried to use my external manual tuner with it. But that was really difficult! As soon as I rotated a tuning-knob the K2 adjusted it's power.

Hi again, This is not an question about my rig, it's more like a wondering... I have made two automatic calibrations on my K2. The first one early in the building-process and the second was the VCO linerization. Are these processes run once and not possible to run again? Or is there a way to

Hi gang, My reading for Q7 base is too low, but not shorted. I get 760 ohm... But I should get 2.5 to 3 k ohm. I have worked my way through the schematics. At R62 I get zero one one side and 870 on the other. At R60 I get 870 and 760. The low resistance must be somwhere between R60 and Q7 base.

A combination of guessing and logical thinking. In auto I get wrong reading. In manual 10 k I get 2.7 k. In manual 1 M I get 3 k So it's 2 against 1... And the two values is what to expect, the odd value is - odd... I'll promise to post a message when the smoke has dissappeared efter I have
