[Elecraft] Is a K2 Realignment Advisable

[Jim Harris]

Hi Folks,

Several days ago I raised the question here as to
whether it is advisable to realign my K2 after having
it in use for several months.  Several people replied
to which I am thankful for their advice.  Everyone
seemed to think, in my case, it would probably be
helpful to redo the alignment and include Spectrogram.

While chasing 3Y0X on the upper bands I realized those
bands may no be doing as well as the middle and lower
bands and especially on RTTY receive.  As the K2 is
only capable of doing RTTY with AFSK I'm presuming LSB
mode would be used like other rigs.  The received RTTY
in MMTTY on the K2 looks much more ragged and seems
less copyable than with my IC-746Pro.  Is there a
special filter setting for RTTY?

Now to find some time to work on it and make a great
rig even better.  There is just too many things do and
not enough time to do them when you are retired.  -;)

Thanks and have a great day!!

Jim, AB0UK
