[Elecraft] k2, freq readout calibration

[pc5m, Carel]

Hi,

 

I have for some time (1 year) a well functioning k2. Never bothered to do a
proper frequency.calibration because I used the k2 as IF for VHF. Recently I
tried to do so (according to the w3fpr method), but no luck. I can't get the
dial correct and have a quite big error (2 KHz or so). It seems that there
is no change at all when performing the calibration (yes I do PLL CAL and
XFIL CAL.).

 

I do have one question to start with:

If you tune to a carrier (CW) signal and adjust C22 (on the control board,
to adjust the  4MHz xtal osc) what should happen ? Should the pitch of the
carrier change ? should the frequency readout change ? (With my K2 "nothing"
happens, no change in pitch, no change in readout, is this normal ?.).

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Carel
