Don is incredible! He always knows when something is amiss. My K2 became
unresponsive while adjusting c22 because I managed to swap c7 and c21
capacitors on the control board during assembly.
And yes, I did need to read up on zero-beating using sideband, not cw mode.
Thanks again, Don.
Mark,
If you are trying to use a single signal, you must do it a bit
differently. look at
http://w3fpr.com/Using%20RWM%20instead%20of%20WWV.htm and substitute the
frequency of your generator for the frequency of the carrier only
standard station - RWM.
Has your XG3 been calibrated for
I'm using the XG3. Attempts with both cw and usb mode have resulted in similar
1.5KHz to 2KHz differences in frequency display vs the output signal of the
XG3. There is so much utility noise (arcing) at my QTH that hearing WWV can be
difficult.
Why doesn't the receive offset, when zero-beating
Mark,
It sounds like you may be tuning to WWV using CW mode. CW mode uses a
receive offset equal to your sidetone pitch which can cause you to be in
error by twice the sidetone pitch.
What mode are you using when you tune WWV? It must be SSB, and you must
tune the transmitted tones
Don,
Where I'm getting stuck is step one under SETTING THE K2 REFERENCE OSCILLATOR
on this page:

Then step two on this page:

For a 10MHz reference, I'm unable to get the difference between TP1 (VCO) and
TP2 (BFO) any
Mark,
The setting of C22 does not control the frequency readout directly. The
frequency readout uses the contents of the EEPROM that are produced when
you do the CAL PLL and CAL FIL procedures.
The only time C22 must be set correctly is just before you do a CAL PLL
or a CAL FIL. At other
Just completed assembly of my K2. The VFO display reads about 1.5KHz high. I've
attempted several times to calibrate it by adjusting C22, but I'm not able to
get the frequency of TP1 on the 30m band any lower than ~14.9154MHz (while the
vfo set to zero beat with a 10MHz signal) without it
7 matches
