[Elecraft] Re: Elecraft: K2 Audio Problem

[Bernard Gaffney, N8PVZ/QRP]

Well, I checked my audio, 40m, antenna disconnected,
quiet room, no PreAmp or Attenuation, found no
difference between AGC On & Off. RF Gain max (fully
clockwise); AF gain has to be basically full clockwise
to get semi-decent audio (internal speaker, or
external via rear audio jack). PreAmp On helps crank
it up. Have not checked speaker wiring, will do that
as soon as I can and report back. Only major bummer
I've run into w/my K2, S/N 5601, so far.
But given that this sounds like a somewhat common
problem, I'm thinking I'll need to get an amplified
speaker. Perhaps Elecraft needs to look into and
address the issue?

BTW, I had the rig built for me, and the builder did
an overall excellent job, so I think the audio issue
is somewhat unlikely to be an assembly problem.
