Hi all,
New builder here having troubles with no receive during alignment of
the receive section. Here are the details:
-K1 #869
-RF board rev. D
-2 band filter board with 40m and 30m installed
-wide tuning range chosen
-no tuner (I have the board built but it is not installed) Jumper

Hi Jerry et al.,
My recent K24U order/payment remained without reply.
I wonder what the reason may be.

Hi Phil,
My time proven technique to find the source of K3 or P3 behavior
abnormalities is to blame the computer first. Disconnect the serial cable to
your PC then see if the problem still exists.

Whenever circuit resistance values seem low, reverse your DMM leads. Many
DMMs produce enough voltage when measuring resistance to begin to turn some
of the junctions in the transistors on, making the readings look low.

DATA A and AFSK A are not the same. For PSK31 with a center frequency of
1500 Hz, you should be using the DATA A submode.
In AFSK A, which is really intended for Baudot RTTY only, the normal or
default filter center frequency is controlled by the PITCH setting; with

Thanks, Rich.That's exactly the case. At some point in time, I must have
configured 20M for DATA A. The other bands were still configured at the factory
setting. Happy Holidays! Don NA6Z K3 #5495

Don,
You should call it "OK" - the emitters are closest to the edge of the
board, the collectors are furthermost from the board edge.
If you have questions about transistor basing, turn to the Schematic Key
page in the back of the manual.

Jim,
As I recall, there is a reason NR is not available in digital modes - it
distorts the signal and reduces copy capability..
The digital decoding is happy to extract a signal from the noise - some
more so that others, and some data modes can extract a signal
significantly under the noise lev
Hi All,
Please ignore the bit about the faint data noise in my previous post.
It was my WIFI router. I guess I'll have to live without internet now.

However the "no receive" problem still remains. I think I may have
damaged the Q10 2N7000 in the rf preamp/mute circuit. I found another
owner on
Mike,
Yes, the 2N7000 FET is sensitive to static, and could have been damaged
when it was installed.
The receive path will work fine with Q10 removed. If that restores your
K1 to full receive, then replacement is in order.
The specs on the 2N7000 at DigiKey are all the same from my perspective

I have a Palomar VLF converter [10 - 500 KHz --> 3.510 - 4.0 MHz]. The
only thing I used to hear was the LORAN-C station over in Middletown
CA. Now that LORAN-C is kaput, I hear a lot above 100 KHz, and some
strange sounds below that. I think I might have heard the USN Jim Creek
station [16
An inexpensive up-converter kit is available from Jackson Harbor Press.
