Well, after a lot of experimenting this weekend w/ the K2 at minimum power into a dummy load, I finally got it set up for BPSK-31 and actually made a QSO on 40 meters with a station in North Dakota, halfway across the country, w/50 watts into a lossy dipole. I have recordings of what the various modes are supposed to sound like, but I haven't found a source of what they are supposed to look like on the MixW waterfall display. I have learned to recognize the BPSK-31 signals, though. There are several that I see that I can't identify, and of course I recognize the big Navy encrypted syncronous RTTY signal on 5346 kHz (60 meter band) which cannot be detected, let alone decrypted, by the usual stuff that we hams have, (I've heard that stuff for most of my ham and professional life) but it's a good 60-meter "beacon". The setup I stumbled across has a few things that are not intuitive and I don't know if this is the optimum setup or if I missed something, but that's what the reflector is all about. I've taken the liberty of posting this to the reflector in case anyone there can help us get it set up "right". Enjoy the rest of the weekend, have a safe trip home, and we'll be in touch. -- 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane Elecraft K2/100 s/n 5402 _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
