[Elecraft] RE: WA3WSJ: Witness the Movie Covered Bridge Tour - Modes?

2005-08-16 Thread Edward R. Breneiser
Hello all, I have had inquiries about the modes of operation for this special event. I will operate ssb, but at the top of each hour of operation I will switch over to cw for those K2's that don't have the ssb option and for those with K1s or KX1s. Here are the frequencies that I will hang aroun

Original post: I'm feeling dumber than a rock here, but in following instructions on alignment of filters using spectrogram I am trying to find how to turn off AFIL (and/or SSB?) so that alignment is accurate... What is the order in the menu for turning it/them off? Can someone please tell me ea

Hi Don, thanks for responding, Short coax cable between K2 Ant > Txin IF1 Antenna is connected to transverter Ant plug. Control cable is connected between K2 and transverter SSB on 6 meter works fine so cables are ok. Keyer is working fine on HF bands. Relay is clicking in the transverter when

I know this is a stupid question...but sometimes the easiest things can go wrong. Do you have the rig in CW mode or did you forget and you're still in SSB mode??? You'll hear relays click in the K2 but there will be no power out because you're keying the rig in SSB mode with no audio. Like

Hello Gregg, in my original e-mail is explained I was using the internal keyer so yes it was in the cw mode otherwise the keyer doesn't work. Original case: I have a K2/100 with a 6 meter transverter. I tried to use it last night in CW and noticed than on CW the K2 PTT relais is switching and th

Rob, Assuming you have all the K2 trn 1 menu parameters set correctly and the transverter properly configured (and you likely have them correct or the transverter would not work in SSB mode), you have a mystery for me. The Transverter does not know (and should not know) whether the RF is being pr

TRN1 option is set to On and I can see when setting TRN1 to off the 6 meter transverter switches off and 6 meter is not a selectable band anymore. Tried 10 meter CW and gives 100 watt output, no problem. CW is not in test mode but in oper mode Tried CW keyer in hand mode and dash side of keyer p

[Elecraft] K2 RX quiet on power up

2005-08-16 Thread Gil Stacy
My K2's (#3104) RX is quiet on start-up on an intermitent basis. It's the same sound that one hears when the AGC kicks in, but it seems "stuck". To get it going, I tap AGC and it springs to life. This usually occurs when I first turn it on during the day. Subsequent on/off's during the day a

Rob, I have a K2 (no KPA100) with KIO2, K60XV and XV50 and CW works fine on 6 meters. My 28Mhz band feeds 1 milliwatt through the K60XV to the transverter; the PTT feeds through the KIO2, same as your setup. Your jumpers should be set to include the attenuator (JP3 2&3, JP4 2&3) and to exclude t

Rob, Just as another wild guess - I need to ask if the IF frequency you are attempting to transmit on is lower than 28 MHz? (i.e. are you attempting to transmit CW below 50 MHz?) If so, that would place the signal outside the ham band and the K2 may have no output at that frequency (the firmware

[Elecraft] KIO2 not working

2005-08-16 Thread james
I'm in the process of installing my KIO2. It does not work. I checked and re-checked all the wiring, location of the components, etc and everything looks good. My K2 has the Rev A control board so I had to cut the trace and solder some wires (that's the one thing I haven't double-checked yet).
