Even if you're in "CAL S HI"? You might need to turn AGC off (hold PRE/ATT and AGC) before you start CAL S HI and CAL S LO. -- "Nosey" Nick Waterman, G7RZQ, K2 #5209. use Std::Disclaimer;[EMAIL PROTECTED] Please sponsor me! http://www.justgiving.com/noseynick Anything worth doing is worth doing badly. -- G.

Re: [Elecraft] K2-S-Meter Alignment question
I should have done as in the first stepafter entering the menu again and selecting CAL S HI, I should have done: Hold "EDIT" a second time to activate it. That sentence wasn't in the manual and I'm just learning the procedures with this rig. Everything checked out OK. On to Assembly, Part II. THANKS Gary You missed one prior step - enter the menu and edit 'CAL S Hi' first, and then the VFO knob should work as described - you should see a display like 'S HI 018' (the number will change as you rotate the VFO knob). 73, Don W3FPR -Original Message- Under S-Meter Alignment: The forth step says: Turn RF Gain fully counter-clockwise. Adjust the VFO knob until bargraph segment 9 lights, then turn it a bit more counter-clockwise until segment 10 just turns on (right-most segment). Question: Should this have said RF Gain instead of VFO knob ? Turning the VFO does nothing while turning the RF Gain knob performs what the instructions say. ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Re: [Elecraft] K2-S-Meter Alignment question
No this is the VFO knob... turning the VFO knob when calibrate the S HI and S Lo paramater should be use to adjust the bar led display for proper receivng indication. If turning the VFO knob does nothing, you should probably have something wrong... Gary Marks a écrit : Under S-Meter Alignment: The forth step says: Turn RF Gain fully counter-clockwise. Adjust the VFO knob until bargraph segment 9 lights, then turn it a bit more counter-clockwise until segment 10 just turns on (right-most segment). Question: Should this have said RF Gain instead of VFO knob ? Turning the VFO does nothing while turning the RF Gain knob performs what the instructions say. Comments please..
