[Elecraft] K2 IF amp alignment

[Paul Bartlett]

Hi Gang,

I'm up to page 61 in the manual (IF amplifier alignment). I could find no
trace of the internally generated signal near 7000 kHz.

I have the benefit of a rather nice Marconi sig-gen and stuffed 7.15000 MHz
into the antenna socket. The manual suggests -100 dbm but I find the
recovered signal disappears to the point of inaudibility at about -85dbm.

The 40m bpf inductors peaked up nicely but tuning L34 was pretty flat.

Does this seem right or should I investigate further?

Best,
