[Elecraft] K2 audio pops

[Mike Harris]

G'day,

K2 #1400 doesn't pop.  I've removed the KDSP2 audio filter and 
re-installed the KAF2 so that I have an analogue receiver to compare with 
the K3.  The DSP didn't really do anything for me.

Regards,

Mike VP8NO

| OK FB Bill, thanks for the info. The main reason I got the k2 is because 
of the excellent reputation as a CW rig.  I can't understand why a cw rig 
such as this has to be operated in a special way to limit pops.  I am sure 
the Ten-Tec guys are laughing at the fact that some k2 ops can't enjoy QSK 
!
|
| The pops are present on the headphone as well as the speaker, and when 
in the Test mode or not in test mode.
| The Noise reduction helps, but does not remove the offenders. Some 
previous posts have wondered if the audio pops are becasue of a "mute 
delay" that is not operating properly. The elecraft site has a reference 
to this problem, but the link to a mod is broken. It is a old link.
| I was hoping to get more info on the Mod and other possible fixes 
without having to change my ops style (no QSK).  thanks.
