[Elecraft] Another Elecraft Tale
A couple of weeks ago I went on a kayaking trip to the northeast corner of Vancouver Island. With my luggage already overweight, I debated whether to bring my KX1 or KX3. I knew I would have only one night camping on a remote island in which to operate, and the KX1 made more sense. I brought the KX3. I threw a wire into a very wet tree, and using the internal batteries, started to tune around. Near 14.060 I heard a W5 camping on a lake in New Mexico having a QSO. I waited for him to complete, and gave him a call. To my surprise, he called back. Though he was a solid 579 at my tent QTH overlooking Johnstone Straight, he gave me a 429 and it took some repeats before he got my info right. What a thrill! It was a joy to tune around and hear such a low noise floor--the only noisemakers for miles were the occasional cruise ship. Later that night, I heard a pod of orcas breathing in the cove outside my tent, including at least one calf. And I was maybe ten miles from Telegraph Cove. 72, the former WD6DBM/VE7 Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android __ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

Re: [Elecraft] K2 audio images strong signals 40 meters
Paul, Thanks for those details. I cannot attribute those offsets to anything related to the BFO, but on 40 meters near 7185 kHz, the PLL and VCO frequencies are quite close together, and interaction between the two can cause some "strange happenings". I believe you may be hearing some subset of the effects from the "Weird At One Frequency" problem that was present in earlier K2s. Your K2 has the 'fixes' that usually clear it up included in the above SN 3000 board layout. However, it is not entirely gone in *some* more recent K2s. Don't ask me why, it varies from one K2 to another, I really don't have an answer - it may have to do with construction practices and lead lengths above the RF board, but that is just a guess. As a first pass attack on the problem, use flush cutters and trim everything in the vicinity of U4 so that nothing can act as a short 'antenna'. Look at the leads for RFC15, C91 and C88 which are soldered to the pins of U4 on the bottom of the board. They should be mounted to the pins of U4 with the minimum lead length possible (the lead length on the side away from U4 is not as critical). If you have components (particularly capacitors and resistors and varactors) with significant lead length above the board in the PLL and VCO areas, reduce that lead length to the minimum possible and flush trim the leads below the board. Normal diagonal cutters will not cut sufficiently close to the board - If you do not have them, buy, beg or borrow true Flush Cutters for this task. I can't promise that it will be a total cure, but it may reduce the intensity of the responses. 73, Don W3FPR On 8/6/2014 7:20 PM, paulb wrote: Hi again folks Update on K2 40 meter audio images around 7175; Serial number of build is 6534 with most options installed.

Re: [Elecraft] K2 audio images strong signals 40 meters
Paul, Just another thought on you issue. Do you have the internal frequency counter probe inside your K2? If so, remove it. It should not be plugged in with the KPA100 installed in any case because there is a possibility of spurious responses. I have never heard of it causing a problem on receive, but yours could be the first report. If you do find it is the internal probe causing the problem, let all on the reflector know about it, please. 73, Don W3FPR On 8/6/2014 3:55 AM, paulb wrote: Hi folks K2 here has what appears to be an odd issue with strongs sigs around 7175Khz Tuning approx 5 Khz higher the same signal can be heard several s-points down.

Re: [Elecraft] K2 audio images strong signals 40 meters
Paul, Additional detail please - I don't have an immediate answer, but there are a few possibilities. The K2 serial number? If less than 3000, has it been upgraded with the A to B mods? What type of signal? CW or SSB? Which IF filters are being used - width and sideband? Has this been a problem since it was built? Take a look at the K2 application note at http://www.elecraft.com/Apps/Alert11_WAOF.html and see if that describes the problem. Since you are posting from Nabble, please copy a 'snippit' of what you are referring to in your replies so those of us on the Elecraft reflector have a reference. (The Elecraft reflector is not threaded). 73, Don W3FPR On 8/6/2014 3:55 AM, paulb wrote: Hi folks K2 here has what appears to be an odd issue with strongs sigs around 7175Khz Tuning approx 5 Khz higher the same signal can be heard several s-points down.

[Elecraft] K2 audio images strong signals 40 meters
Hi folks K2 here has what appears to be an odd issue with strongs sigs around 7175Khz Tuning approx 5 Khz higher the same signal can be heard several s-points down. Best guess seems to be centred around the 7175 - 7180 range. I have a distant memory reading about this many years ago at build, it's been a while.. thanks cheers Paul b zl1aly -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K2-audio-images-strong-signals-40-meters-tp7591965.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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
