Re: [Elecraft] Now, that was stupid.... Advice?

Well, when setting up for SKN I did a dumb thing with my K2/100. My rig for SKN is a 40m two-tube transmitter that puts out about 50 watts. Somehow, I ended up connecting it to the cable that leads to the K2, instead of the one that leads to the antenna. So, I ended up putting about 50

Re: [Elecraft] Now, that was stupid.... Advice?

Since you transmitted into the antenna tuner, is it nothing more serious than having a lot of reflected power due to a mismatch? In such a case we would expect the tuner to survive that for some time. Admittedly the K2 was in receive mode at the time, but I would have expected the tuner

For narrow band sweeping (depends on the frequency range, couple hundred KHz at max) you can use the 8620B's FM mode. Put the sweep generator into the FM external input, and also onto the X axis of your 'scope. Keep the modulating frequency low. Does not have to be a linear ramp either, sine

Robert - Try using a low-frequency AC signal, as from a function generator, and DC couple it to the 8640B FM modulator input. Depending on how much sweep you need, I think this will work. I am pretty sure the 8640B FM section will respond to DC. If you have a function generator, and it
