[Elecraft] Conception of a K2

[Robert Tellefsen]

John
When the K2 is finished and it's time for alignment,
many of us use a noise generator to feed the receiver,
the Spectrogram audio spectrum analyzer program
to set the filters up for the best results, and an
oscilloscope to display the resulting filter passbands.
I believe the free version of Spectrogram is still available
on N0SS' web page.  There are several noise generator
kits around, not very complicated at all.  I believe Elecraft
also has one.  It would be an easy kit for your son to knock
out along the way.
Good luck and 73
