Re: [Elecraft] How to set up SSB

A mod kit of caps (SSBCAPKT) and downloadable instruction sheet are now available ($15) for John's SSB mod via our parts and mod kits order form. See: http://www.elecraft.com/order_form_parts.htm The Crystal Filter Bandwidth Modification capacitor kit provides two options to change the origina

Re: [Elecraft] How to set up SSB

Dan, The 't' is on the BFO display corresponding to FL1 - and its only meaning is that this is the BFO (carrier) frequency that will be used for transmit. 73, Don W3FPR - Original Message - Well, you made me think, but it turns out, you are right. The CAL FIL display says "t" for t

RE: [Elecraft] How to set up SSB

Well, you made me think, but it turns out, you are right. The CAL FIL display says "t" for the 2.20 setting, but it's really using OP1. However, with the alignment done on 2.20 and transmit done on OP1, the filter will be very off, and the ripple is extreme. My 2 year old KSB2 seems OK in the flat

Re: [Elecraft] How to set up SSB

The option of OP1 or 2.2, etc in the filter selection is for receive only. However you still have to make sure that the BFO is place correct for the TX filter OP1 and the easiest way to do that is to set up with OP1 in FL1 on receive as was finally selected and match the BFO to that with Spe

RE: [Elecraft] How to set up SSB

Finally, success! I got on QRZ and found a ham one mountain over. We got on 12 meters and checked out USB and LSB and he said it sounded like I was on the telephone. I guess that's gonna have to do! Being at the "factory" width for the KSB2, we're not going to get studio audio. In summary, the Ra

Re: [Elecraft] How to set up SSB

Nigel and all, I hope I have not caused any confusion, BUT ... I have been refering to the classical filter 'corner frequency' as the -3 dB point, which does place the upper 'physical corner' seen on the display at 400 to 500 Hz. Perhaps I should change my text to clarify. 73, Don W3FPR ---

Re: [Elecraft] How to set up SSB

Dan, You could try using the microphone direct into a tape recorder if the mic's response is the primary question. If you are referring to filter adjustments to match your voice, I think more emphasis than necessary has been placed on refining the frequency range. If you have set your FL1 B

Re: [Elecraft] How to set up SSB

Hi Dan. > Ideas? How about whipping up a cheap and dirty crystal controlled direct conversion receiver? Set your transceiver to the receiver's crystal frequency (which you will be able to zero-beat to with your transceiver) and perform your SSB tests. Lots of cheap microprocessor surplus crysta
