Don, If the problem does not exist when transmitting into a dummy load, then it is related to common mode RF on the coax. OTOH, if it persists with a dummy load, then it is a K2 problem. 73, Don W3FPR On 10/24/2011 9:08 PM, gold...@charter.net wrote: > Hi All > > Well the suspect coax has bee

Hi Lu, Why not just tune the K3 to the RF output frequency of the Orion? The K3's IF output signal is picked off before the crystal filters, so the P3 shows the actual unfiltered signal received at the K3 antenna connector. Alan N1AL On Mon, 2011-10-24 at 16:39 -0400, Lu Romero wrote: > Hi Don

If you protect the P3 input with some back to back diodes, put a piece of wire on the IF input, dial up the P3 IF to the the freq you wish to listen to, and the P3 will show you the received signal. I think the caveat is to protect the input to the P3 or you will burn it up.. Merv K9FD/KH6
