This is Julie, wife of Larry K4MWE, with 2 cents on the 2-meter trouble. We are using FM-tone to hit local repeaters. We have changed the BNC adapter attaching the antenna cable, made sure the antenna connection is secure, tried connecting the antenna directly to the K3, and still the received 2-meter repeater FM voices are distorted, with a buzz quality behind every word. The same antenna enables very clear reception on our old Icom radio, so I don't think the antenna is at fault.
We have an FM filter installed and it is being accessed according to the display. The transverter was factory installed. We did not receive any written indication of the frequency tuning offsets, and I suspect this is the problem, as if I change frequency a bit away from the repeater's nominal frequency, then voices do sound clearer. Tomorrow we can see if the Elecraft factory kept a record of the transverter frequency offsets. If not then I guess we can open the case and look? Thanks for the suggestions. ALL help is much appreciated!!
