Agreed, though on my most recent K2, it was close enough to actually change the BFO freq slightly even after releasing the pressure of my hand on the cover, etc., when I picked it up and moved it around.
Course we're talking, like, fractions of a millimeter almost lol. I think just the small warp in the RF board and maybe in the bottom cover are just enough to get the panel close enough to the toroid and BFO area to make this happen on my recent K2. I was extremely careful with the bumper and positioning of the resistor and it was still mechanically too close to the panel (I could see the slight divet in the electrical tape when I'd take the cover off, but I never saw that on my first K2). But even K2 #1 pulls the BFO a little when I handle it pressing on the bottom cover with the rig on. Just not nearly as bad as #2.... But just the thickness of a lockwasher was enough to spread things out for a great improvement... Definitely not a "problem" problem, but, er,...How about a "very very close tolerance mechanical issue with L33 and the bottom cover", I'll put it that way lol. 73, LS W5QD -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K2-freq-stability-tp7616601p7616620.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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
