[Elecraft] 10 meter SSB audio distortion

I get excellent audio reports on my K2 audio on all bands but 10 meters. People tell it sounds like RF is getting back into the radio. I have the KAT100 tuner and an RF Works isolator that should prevent RF from getting back into the radio, and the K2 itself is gorounded. The disortion is present

Folks, I have seen several 'carry-cases' for many rigs, and it suddenly dawned on me that the common packaging used for these carry-cases is incorrect. Most all I have seen orient the rig so it appears in its normal operating position when the case is opened - that means the knobs are toward th

Let me present a dissenting point of view on the K1. I am the fourth owner of K-1 SN0004 with a 40/20 M module. I have had it for 2 years. I have found that the more I use it the less I like it. I find the K1 both too much radio and too little radio at the same time. I use it primarily for portab

I *really* need one for my KX1. I have trashed 2 or 3 pots by compression when carrying it in my waist pack. In fact I have to replace a scratchy pair now that has to be pressed and gingerly rotated. I was thinking of thick foam with cutouts, to save weight. Maybe we can get someone to make

Ever see those hard plastic snap-on protective covers for the fronts of oscilloscopes? They cover the entire front, the display and knobs, from damage and dust. I'd really like one for my K2 for transport. I have a foam case I carry the K2, mic, key, cables, etc, etc in, but the K2's face is not 1

Hi Max: Don gave you some good suggestions there, but... Were it me, given that the problem comes and goes and is not necessarily present at turn-on. I think I'd first look for a flakey (or unsoldered) joint in the AF chain. This sounds like a connection that fails after things warm up just a

Hi As you describe your problem occurring with the side tone as well as the received signal I would suspect something in the AF amp circuit. Look for a bad connection, missing or wrong part around U9 on the control board. If you cannot find anything U9 may be bad. If you need to replace U9 cut

Steve and All, A lot of contesters use software to control both VFOs and concurrently do a lot of other things too, so a second knob is not really necessary. In fact, the existing knob is not used either while under software control. Writelog and N1MM Logger are two such programs, although I
