Hi Christophe, The VCO shield kit may be found here: http://www.elecraft.com/order_form_parts.htm#K2%20Parts Look at the first line labeled K2VCOSHLDKT. 73, Mike, K8CN -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K2-Modulation-on-CW-signal-tp7564439p7564518.html Sen

Calvin, Do you have anything with a transformer within 2 feet of the K2? If so, isolate the K2 by moving it away from everything and see if the ripple goes away. If the problem disappears with the isolation, you can install the optional VCOSHLDKT which shields the VFO inductor. 73, Don W3FPR

Hello Calvin, Welcome to the Elecraft List. Were you using a dummy load or your antenna when looking at your K2's output with an Oscilloscope? Is the frequency of the modulation/ ripple which you see equal to the sidetone frequency, or a harmonic of the sidetone's frequency, which you are usi

Hello, First time posting to the list. Completed K2 #7239 today. Made a contact with a station on cw, 10 watts, 7.1065 mhz. He reported back that my CW signal had a very heavy ripple on the signal. I connected the output to a Oscilloscope and was able to see a ripple on the waveform when key
