Hi,
First of all Merry Christmas to all of you!
Yesterday I went over to a friend and we did some quick tests on my new
K2 (basic, no options yet).
To be clear, everything has been aligned with basic tools, as in the
user manual.
Here are some things we noticed:
1. when looking at the transmitted signal using a spectrum analyser,
the signal didn't seem as clean as we liked it. We didn't have
time (it was the day before X-mas!) to really start counting the
dB's, but on 30, 12 and 10 m we saw some signals around the main
signal. Is there any chance we can get these bands 'cleaner' by
further tweaking the filters?
2. Output power on 10m is OK low in the band, but when going higher
up it decreases to a mere 1,5 W. Moreover the higher we go in the
band the worse the transmitted spectrum gets (see above). Is it
possible to set the filters so the complete 10m band can be used
at a reasonable power? I know, for CW the low part of the band is
the place to be, but I'd like to also install the SSB option.
3. When listening to a continuous signal (XG2 for example) there is
some kind of a (digital) 'thump' in the audio everytime I turn RIT
or VFO. Is this a normal behaviour or not?
