[Elecraft] Question on Alignment

Thu Jul 10 23:00:01 2003

Eric has observed that with the probe in place even though not plugged into
any of the test points, it is capable of picking up signals from within the
K2 and creating problems. While this could lead to "spurious emissions" I
got the idea that the more likely problem was improper operation of one or
more sub-systems within the K2. At any rate, I keep mine removed!
