Re: [Elecraft] K2 scratchy noise on RX CW signals

Andrew, Bypass is not "OFF", so yes it could still be in-circuit. The only way to really find out is to re-install it and set everything to default. A good exercise for a rainy/snowy afternoon. 73, Don W3FPR On 2/19/2022 9:04 PM, Andrew Moore wrote: Hi Don - thanks for the suggestion. Any ide

[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

Good Evening,    I spent some time cutting salvaged antennas into 1/4 wavelength segments.  Then I hiked them through brambles, bushes, dead ferns, and branches.  Currently 20 of them are in place.  I have a few more segments left to fill any gaps with one left over for the radiator.  Snow, e

Re: [Elecraft] K2 scratchy noise on RX CW signals

Thanks Don - I might just do that. I hadn't checked the settings before I removed the board. Good to know. In the meantime the KAT2 runs great. On Sat, Feb 19, 2022 at 9:30 PM Don Wilhelm wrote: > Andrew, > > Bypass is not "OFF", so yes it could still be in-circuit. > The only way to really find

Re: [Elecraft] K2 scratchy noise on RX CW signals

Hi Don - thanks for the suggestion. Any idea if the scratchy audio would persist if the KDSP2 was put into bypass mode? I tried that and scratchy audio was still there. Thanks, -Andrew On Sat, Feb 19, 2022 at 8:49 PM Don Wilhelm wrote: > Andrew, > > That sounds like you had the NB and/or NR se

Re: [Elecraft] K2 scratchy noise on RX CW signals

Andrew, That sounds like you had the NB and/or NR set on in the KDSP2 with aggressive settings. If the settings were aggressive, it would give you 'scratchy' audio - but it does eliminate other unwanted signal sounds.  You might want to put the KDSP2 in again and try several settings - see the

Re: [Elecraft] Seeking input on 3rd-party microphones used with our transceivers

Wayne, If you are seeking connections for various microphones, I can suggest you consult the extensive list of microphone schematics and pinouts compiled by G4WPW (SK).  his information is preserved at https://www.qsl.net/g4wpw/date.html. It does not have any 'mic quality' information, but if
