[Elecraft] about my k2's

[Trevor Day]

Thank you for that post Hans.  I have been puzzling over a very similar 
problem here. During the evening only, when using my K2 as a transverter 
IF for 6m, I have found the S meter rising to S6 or 7 when there is no 
signal (at least on 6m!).  I can still hear six metre signals 'through' 
this although it does appear to affect sensitivity.  The signal is 
fairly broadband from roughly 50.050 to 50.250  (28.050 - 28.250) the dx 
end of the 6m band:(
It also appears to be directional as I can peak it with the 5 ele beam. 
The signal does disappear as the antenna is removed.  When I say signal, 
I mean whatever is causing the S meter to respond.

I don't recall the 18 and 10MHz mods, so I will look into that.

It has been driving me crazy...
I feel much better now :))
