I'm pretty sure this has happened to me a few times as well. The trouble is

really hard by the crisis?

The exact voltage at TP5 is not critical at this stage of alignment, it
is simply an indicator of the peak while you are tuning the bandpass
filters. Keep the voltage high enough for a reliable reading, but
higher voltages will mask the peak, so try to keep the voltage within

Not all disk caps are the same - it depends on the dielectric. NP0 types
are pretty good but the high K formulations, Z5U and Y5U are not so good.

Down the years I have found that flashing a new BIOS on computer

Why this should be I have never discovered but, eg, having your boot

OK guys, now I need some guidance. I'm building K2 serial number 6625. I
am on page 48 on the manual, Setting the AGC Threshold. I have the RF GAIN

U2 while adjusting R1 is 3.65V. The manual calls for 3.80V. All tests

As mentionted before I ordered my KRX3 and K3 on Feb 11th. My K3 serial number

I received a note from Don W3FPR and Hank K8DD about the problem I

The problem is caused by the 8 volt regulator being on the low side of
its specification (the spec sheet says 7.5 to 8.5 volts is OK output for
the regulator - and the current batch of regulators at Aptos seem to be
on the low side (they were mostly on the high side a couple years ago -

Since you asked 'why' - U2 pin 13 connects to the D2 button encoding

I often hear that old saw when people discuss QRP. However, I am not sure
it is true or particularly meaningful.
He gave me a 559 report before he knew I was a QRP station. If you do the

give him a 7 on his S-meter. It is

First of all, the crystal filter has nothing to do with trying different
bandwidths. The DSP provides complete flexibility, including 1 kHz with the
stock 2.7 kHz crystal roofing filter. But, yes, I've operated at a 1 kHz RX
bandwidth on SSB, 400-1400 Hz. The intelligibility was much better
For me, 1 KHz bandpass for voice is unreadable. If the filter is very, very
bad and the signal very strong, enough stuff outside of the 1 kHz bandpass
might slip through to make it intelligible, but it's not as readable as a
wider bandwidth along with the increased noise the wider bandwidth
