[Elecraft] RTTY Filter and low end of BFO range

2005-05-07 Thread Leigh L Klotz, Jr.
I have enough BFO range as described in the manual and am able to reach 4912.97 on the low end. Unfortunately, while that is low enough for me to center the RTTY filters on 1000Hz for one of the sidebands, it is not for the other. On the "bum" sideband, the narrowest RTTY filters are centered

Since I also work on commercial FM radios (I own 3 repeaters) my Tech Bench is built upon those shelf units that you find in home discount stores etc. I have two shelf units on either side {and perpendicular} of my work area, and they support my main work area shelf. My work surface area is a

[Elecraft] Setting up Filters with a modern Macintosh

2005-05-07 Thread Bill Coleman
I know many of you out there set up your filters using Spectrogram on a Windows PC, but some of us only have (or simply prefer to use) Macintosh computers. I recently had to completely reconfigure my filters, as I added the RTTY mode. In order to accommodate my chosen center frequency of 150

[Elecraft] K2 Transverter TRN3 and TRN6 setup problems

Anyone having this problem.?? Solution ?? After setting up the TRN3 and/or TRN6 parameters in the K2 and returning to normal operation, as soon as VFO knob turned the frequency on the display go to what seems to a randome one, AND VFO input is ignored (?) as dispaly is "locked". Other TRN band

[Elecraft] Using the old, original RJ45 Rigblaster with the K2

2005-05-07 Thread Lynn and Les
S/N 4751 with KSB2 is now on the air - the first contact was a TI8 from Florida with great audio reports using the MD2 Heil mike (i.e., all jumpers and the 5.6K ohm resistor are in place on the front panel). All subsequent signal reports have been great as well - not bad for 12 watts into an 80 met

Hi The new back panel is a silkscreened and drilled heatsink panel that has the transverter connector holes. When installing the 60 meter/transverter option you can install this panel to replace your old panel. You can drill your old heatsink panel if you want but this replacement makes it eas

[Elecraft] What is this new back panel

2005-05-07 Thread designer
From time to time someone mentions the "new" heat sink back panel for the K2. I haven't seen a picture of it on the web site or item listed in Options. I've suggested that Elecraft make a PSK friendly back panel - with holes for Line In/Out or one hole for a 5 pin DIN plug to handle those I/O.
