[Elecraft] K2 Problem in NAQP

[Don Wilhelm]

  Jim,

You have both the K2 and the K3, so you don't have to wait for an actual 
"on the air" test.  Connect the K2 to a dummy load, and connect a short 
antenna to the K3 - place the antenna close enough to the dummy load to 
give about an S-9 indication on the K3.  Transmit with the K2 and listen 
with the K3 - you will know immediately whether it works or not.

73,

Hopefully, I can get an on air test in a day or so with a friend to confirm all is well.  In spite of my best effort I guess I goofed it up the first time.  I've been unable to find clear instructions in the assembly manual nor other instructions available on the internet on what values are correct for the BFO and DAC values.  Those values are in the assembly manual for LSB/USB and CW and it's reverse but not for RTTY.  I guess I had a one in two chance of getting it right and didn't do well on the odds.
