Well after finishing the set up of my K2 I thought I'd give it a work out. I put it on 40 meters and started listening to some code-great. Or so I thought until I switched filters - nothing on FL2-4. Then I got to checking more. Seems like the CW was present on some parts of the band and not on other parts. Also a CW signal is over a 5Khz area and NEVER changes tone - just there and then later just gone. That just doesn't sound right.
So maybe I should check calibrations again. Hmm.. Back to the 4 mhz oscillator and let's try WWV at 10 Mz. This is when I noticed something else really strange. No WWV signal or it is very low even with audio and rf gain all the way up but couldn't be sure . I just notice some bumm-bumm-bumm, like nothing at all, not the normal tones. Set C22 back to the default location get out a signal generator and set it at 10 Mhz - nothing heard. Set it to 10.06 and tune the K2 - hey I can zero beat it there. The minute I try to go below 10.05 on the K2 to zero beat a generator signal set somewhere below 10.05 - it's like the K2 is on some other band or part of the 30M band. If I come up from the bottom it does the same thing at 9995.0 is ok to zero beat but anything between 9995 and 10.05 is out in la-la land. Appears it's happening on all the bands at various places. I'm at a loss as to what is going on and what might be wrong. I've checked the receive circuits and tuned them and they seem to work. Parts of each band work on CW and SSB (no ssb module at this time but can hear conversions). But parts of each band seem to do this act of going to some other place and it usually happens around a 5Khz display (like 7105-7115, 9995-1005, etc.) Any ideas on what is screwed up or where to look?? -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K2-not-able-to-receive-WWV-other-signal-problems-tp5164865p5164865.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
