Wes, The most common cause is that the SSB IF filters are not aligned correctly. Use Spectrogram for a visual indication of the filter passband. See http://www.mmccs.com/mmarc/n0ss/k2_filters_using_gram_v5r17.pdf. You will not be disappointed. If you need Spectrogram, go to my website ww

[Elecraft] K2 Receive Audio

2019-06-10 Thread wes Bolin
I have a very nice K2 that I bought as previously owned. It works fine on SSB on 20 Meters. The audio from the radio's speaker is low frequency for voice. Sounds good on CW to me, but the SSB tone/pitch is like there is a LP filter cutting off the high frequencies. When I have this situation wit

Thanks Sverre, Mike and Don. Doh! After cutting the PC's software gain control to near-minimum, it does appear that most if not all of the odd-harmonic distortion was due to overdriving the soundcard. To make certain, I will repeat the experiment on a USB sound card that has bona fide line inp

Ken, I do not believe that harmonic distortion is coming from the K2 - that pattern looks like a soundcard overdriven condition to me. When you reduce the AF Gain at the K2, you reduce the input to the sound card, and at some point, the soundcard no longer distorts. Use the PC soundcard mixer co

I have been thinking that the receive audio from my K2 (#4314) was just OK, especially on CW when compared to other rigs including a Drake R8 and a K1. It's not terrible by any means, just not as good as it might be. Today I fed an S9 CW signal into Spectrogram and find that its third audio harm
