RE: [Elecraft] k2#4877
Dan and all, There is a more certain method of centering the RIT than 'by ear'. Watch the display while turning the RIT on and off, when the two frequencies agree, it is centered. You don't need to repeatedly turn RIT on and off to do that either - just look at the frequency with RIT off and turn RIT on and adjust for the same frequency on the display. After doing that, one may want to loosen the knob and turn it a bit if the real center point is not lined up with the panel marking. 73, Don W3FPR > -Original Message- > > The kit comes with a RIT Centering tool.

RE: [Elecraft] k2#4877
The kit comes with a RIT Centering tool. It looks very similar to an allen key . Center the rit (by ear), loosen the set-screw, align the index hash at 12 O'clock, and tighten the set-screw. Dan / WG4S / K2 #2456 I want to calibrate my rit/xit on center again. ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.

Go to http://elecraft.com - Click "Builders' Resources" - Read "Frequency Calibrating the K2's 4 MHz Master Oscillator (C22)" - Click "Spectrogram Filter Alignment Articles (Updated)" - Read the two "Aligning the K2's ___ Filters using Spectrogram" (Don't forget the "r" data mode filters if you'll be using them.) And then enjoy your finely tuned gadget! :-) Mike AB3AP ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.
