Re: [Elecraft] K2 Dsp ?

2005-12-14 Thread Gilbert J Cross
I can give you some practical experience if you so choose. I live
near Ovid which is not too far from Gaines. Remember the DSP is an audio
device and a strong signal will push the AGC up. However I am able to
copy through some very strong signals with the notch engaged. We have
some great tuner uppers on 75. I sometimes think this is how some do
their hamming...
The notch is left on when chatting for this reason
Contact me off list if you would like to play with the DSP ,
would need a little time to get rid of the mess..

My thanks to Don Wilhelm and Jack Brindle.
Yep, it turned out to be a short that was pulling J1-2 to ground.
I had a couple of .01 caps and so cut them loose ( C3 & C6 ) . But still
shorted. New Max1406 coming from Elecraft. After removing the IC the
negative voltage on pin 8 was then a healthy -12v. 
Thanks again for steering me toward the problem

Re: [Elecraft] K2 - Strange problem ?

2004-11-29 Thread Gilbert J Cross
I have had a problem similar to this. Occasionally when through
talking the K2 does not return in the full receive mode. The rig seems to
be muted. I found early on that by quickly tapping the PTT button that
the receiver returns to full volume. Could possibly be a sticking relay
in my amp. Sooner or later if the PTT tapping does not work I shall be
forced to look for the reason.

Hello all. I now have 3 mics.The Heil with HC5 element(has the

Anyone know if I can get a few more dB's from the amp listed on
