[Elecraft] K2 noise

[Don Wilhelm]

Hans,

That effect can happen if your IF filter alignment is way off.  I suggest
aligning the filters using Spectrogram.  See the information for doing that
on the Builders Resouce section of the Elecraft website or look at the K2
Dial Calibration article on my website http://w3fpr.qrpradio.com .

When you are finished aligning the filters, you can observe the AF content
of an actual received signal with Spectrogram and determine if you still
have a problem.

73,
Don W3FPR
