Don: Thanks for your reply. I have to admit that I had completely forgotten the "spot" function. I guess my ear was attuned to something different from what the spot function would show. I have found that, if I use the spot function, I am able to keep the received signal within the passband of the filter in use.
I did recheck my dial calibration, and I did the filter alignment all over again. It now seems to work fine. Indeed, I gave it a bit of an acid test during the North American QSO Party last weekend. I would tune into one of the most crowded frequencies, get a signal in the middle of the passband for one of the narrower filters (I do now understand that the filters are 1500khz, 700, 400 and 200khz - sorry for the error), and then try and reply to that signal. It worked perfectly every time. In other words, a signal in the center of the filter passband was pretty close to my transmitted signal. I wanted to wait a bit before replying because, on a few past occasions when I realigned the filters, the filter alignment seemed to change as time went on. In other words, the received signals seemed to end up more and more out of the passband as time went on. However, at this point, two weeks after I did the latest realignment, everything seems stable and working well. Thanks so much for your patience and help. 73 de Bernie, KF0QS -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K2-Filter-Alignment-tp7567975p7568728.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
