I would think that checking once every 200 ms (5 times per second) would be
more than adequate. I have an ID-880 that I have programmed with a local
repeater channel bank that I can scan for activity. Given the scan rate and
the number of channels, it covers each one at about that rate, or maybe a
I really miss the K3's APF in my K2. I previously tried a KAF2 but found it
to be of marginal help. Has anyone found the AF1 to be as useful as APF?
Does anyone have an AF1 they no longer need? I'd love to find someone close
to Charlotte NC that might have one I could try before buying.

Gents,
Looks like I forgot to share the outcome of this story.
In the end, I got new MAX534 and replaced it, and everything
is now fine. I can't tell you whether the chip was deffective
from the beginning, or it was damaged by EMC during my
soldering. Anyway, things are OK for quite some time.

My VCO control voltage is zero on 40,30, and 15 meters. All other bands
are within the normal range, all tests prior to these measurements passed.
When I try to run CAL PLL, I get info 232 even though I am on 40 meters.
What should I check first?
Thanks!

After being off the air for 10 years I've forgotten much. Still remember
Morse so I'm back on CW but I want to get back into digital modes.
I just orered the Signalink USB interface and waiting for that to arrive

Harry,
The thing in the VFO Range Select area that is common between 40, 30 and
15 meters is C73,
Check its value - it should be 47 pF (marked 470).
A low voltage at R30 indicates that there is not sufficient capacity in
the tuned circuit and the PLL/VCO is trying to increase the value of the
Don,
I know this isn't exactly your first rodeo, but that's still pretty
impressive. I have the wrong component installed at C73, I have a 4
7 pF instead of a 47 pF.
Bravo!
thanx,
harry

Jim,
First, the menu SSBC parameter is for compression, not gain. The gain
setting is SSBA.
Yes, SSBC must be set to 1-1 (no compression) for data modes.
That is why it is advisable to activate the RTTY filter set in the K2
and copy the filter settings from your SSB filter into the RTTY filte
Harry,
You are welcome, enjoy the build. If you have problems, we are usually
available.
Yes, I have been "around the block" with the K2 a few times!
The question that may remain is - "Now where did I put that 47 pF
capacitor?" Have fun:-) .
BTW, the only 4.7 pF capacitor in the K2 RF Board
Well I spoke too soon. I replaced that capacitor and now I have 0 volts on
every band. Any thoughts?
thanx,

Harry,
That is quite strange. I would examine your work carefully,
particularly looking for lifted solder pads and/or solder bridges.
80 meters should have only C72 in the circuit. You should trace the VFO
range select path with an ohmmeter by following the path in the
schematic (checking f
Strange indeed, and here is why, when I was messing with it just now
measuring again, I laid my arm across the case and then I got voltage.
Somewhere I had something shorting against the case.
I'm back on track now, VCO voltage is in spec for every band. CAL PLL is
running now. When it's done
Harry,
Make certain you have the bottom cover in place when running CAL PLL -
yes, it does make a difference!
If you did it with the bottom cover off, no harm, just do it again.

Good Evening,
Propagation has been good most of the week. The sun has been
active. Spaceweather.com has some interesting facts about the week's
solar activity. Multiple active sunspots with more M and X class flares
probable. Ten meters and lower have been fun to monitor. Lots of DX.
Hey it seems to work just fine...
Happy Me!
Plus with the fine help of James W8ZR I was able to actually use DX Labs
together with the k3 and the Dell laptop... Wow what an incredible software
package
