[Elecraft] Problem with Elecraft's built in 2 meter receiver

2012-05-03 Thread Larry Royster
Although Elecraft personnel has been very helpful in trying to fix our problem with 2 meter reception in our local repeaters, no solution has been found. Until a solution is found, no one should purchase a K3 with this option. Otherwise the K3 has been great up to now.

NG5E wonders if Larry and I are new to using a VFO on the 2-meter band, but that is not the case, and tuning does not seem to be the issue. The Elecraft support staff (both Dale and Howard) have been quite attentive and helpful. They have offered to check out the K3 in its entirety. We are not c

Mr. Royster et al, I hope other readers of this topic will not be influenced by your ill founded post, because you are accusing Elecraft of having a poor product, when those of us who use the internal 2m modules know it is not true. You are entitled to your opinion, but there is no solution to

Hi Julie, As a repeater coordinator of 40+ years experience, I would say that it's -highly- unlikely that the deviation of any your local repeaters are exceeding +/- 5kHZ. This has been the commercial and amateur standard for decades. Trivia: Florida's first repeater (Tampa) was built in my sho

IIRC, when I installed mine I had to touch up the offsets a bit to get good audio. Now it sounds good transmit and receive. Got the counter out and touched up the HF freq, then did the 2 meter. Keyed up into dummy load and dialed in the frequency that was on the display by changing the offset. Jim
