Don,
Your suggestions worked. I tucked the wires better away from the KSB2 and
replaced R2 back to its original value (VOX is now unusable, but I am fine with
it). The distortions are gone with SSBC 1-1 and signal gets a little distorted
with more compression but that is normal I think.

Not apropos to transmitting, but no discussion of receiving loop antennas is
complete without reference to N6RK's illuminating paper from Pacificon 2008:

Andreas,
I assume you have the internal Frequency Counter Probe that was
assembled during Assembly and Test Part II. That is the probe that
plugs into TP2 - the other end connects to the Control Board connector
on the top left corner.

Just wrapped up assembly of my K3. I did the basic calibration and so far so

The mag loop performance can be surprisingly good if the surrounding objects

But not good when surrounded by brick/concrete.

Interesting to see what one can still learn about the K2 after having had

Indeed,
I think if you compared the difference in db in sensitivity of a normal
rig compared to an elecraft, BOTH WAYS would equal quite a large beam
antenna in gain.

Think about how you are going to operate with data modes, and how you

Thanks Ken & others who replied directly. I do have a copy of the KDSP2

But I still cannot find any recomended DSP filter settings for Data modes

Good morning Igor,
You are correct, to a point.
When you have a thousand units of weight, in Spanish, you do NOT say you
have "Kilo Kilos of X". You say you have "mil kilos of X".
