Hi;
Thanks to all of you who gave me an answer ! Seems like I will have to
pay $59 for 2 side panels as I don't feel like doing them myself ! I
will need the KIO2 as I'm building a full remote station.

Mark,
Yes, your math is correct, and since your BFO is at a lower frequency than
the IF, that should give you LSB output - something strange is going on
here.
Let's take this off-reflector after this note, because we may have to
exchange a bit of detail information. It may be of interest to some
Tune to 7000 and put the counter probe into TP1 and tell me what the
frequency reading is there (in CAL FCTR mode) - 11915 kHz is expected.
7000.00MHz CW, St P of 0.60
at TP1: 11914.18
TP3: 12094.20
TP2: 4913.60
If my math is correct, mixing 7000.00 and 11914.18 should have an
output at 4914.1
G'day All,
K2 #5492 is up and running in its basic form. Options for SSB, DSP, NB and
transverters will be added soon. Elecraft service was excellent and the kit
was a joy to build. Only one problem during tune-up but that was soon solved
after finding a similar fault described in the mailin
Mark,
The BFO frequencies look OK, and the 3.7 marking on your crystals say that
the IF frequency should be close to
the center of 'normal' (=usual), so if you have inverted sidebands, we need
to look for something else awry.
Tune to 7000 and put the counter probe into TP1 and tell me what the

Mark,
Yes, that is an important piece of information.
Move the L34 tuning slug up to near the top - 1 to 1 1/2 turns in from the
top and leave it there for the time being - then re-check your sideband
inversion problem.

I should have reiterated that the IF tuning slug bottoms out as the
snr is improving -- is something wrong with the IF frequency or is
this just a side effect of the filter problem?

John,
There is a phone jack on the adapter that will ACCEPT an external PTT switch
(A footswitch is commonly used).
If you have nothing that you can use for a PTT switch, you can always use a
key or paddles - just close the dot paddle in SSB mode and the K2 will go
into transmit.
73,
Don W3FPR
The Proset-K2 has no PTT switch; you'll need to supply one. The
adapter shipped with the Proset-K2 has a jack that will accept a PTT.

Can you be specific about how you are determining that the BFOs are on the

I'm listening to the 7.040MHz generated by an XG2. When I have CW

Using 40 meters, tune in a signal, then tune the pitch of the signal to a
lower tone, observing which way you turn the VFO dial - if you have LSB or
CW selected, the pitch should become low

Let me try that again :-). Like you I used the values from the manual.
Unlike your case however, I got good results. Just wanted to let you

Something is not quite right with your rig ...

Another point for the KIO2 is that if you want to use a K2 without
the KPA100/KAT100/EC2, you will still have the computer interface.
Handy for that camping trip or mini-DXpedition.

KK7P on his website discusses how to interface without a KIO2, however he did

I ended up using the waterfall and the 7000KHz birdie. I found it easier to see

Hi Fred and all,
I found using MixW for setting up my CW, SSB, RTTY filters much easier,
using the waterfall. Its $50, but the free trial version should work fine.
If you do the digital modes you will probably end up up using MixW anyway.
I have a lot of the CAT commands entered as Macros in MixW.
Hi Elecrafters.. maybe that question has already been posted, but I ask it
again. I plan to use an IC-706 MKIIG for SSB/VHF operations and a K2 for CW
