Removing the freq counter cable had no effect. Repositioning the ribbon cable did help some, but the noise is still there. I tried positioning the cable every way possible and found the most quite spot by routing it back beneath the shield and then folding it sharply toward the front - right above but not touching the crystals on KSB2. I taped the cable to the shield at this spot. Without an antenna, the noise is still ~S2 (2 leds) on most bands. But with an antenna attached it disappears into the band noise. So I suppose it's not too big a deal. But I'd still like to get rid of the noise completely. I never noticed it with the KIO2. I also changed the polling frequency to 1 second. That makes the noise more or less insignificant. But now I have to look at the rig's S-meter instead of the virtual one on the monitor. :)
Anyways, the K2 is working *great*. It a real joy to operate and the receiver is simply fantastic. I'll be taking it on a DX vacation to Bermuda the last week in July. I'm looking forward to finding out what it's like to "BE" DX. :) 73 -David W4SMT _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
