[Elecraft] Problem with Elecraft's built in 2 meter

[Don Wilhelm]

Julie,

It does sound like you may have a bad 13 kHz filter installed - that is 
only a guess.
Work with Elecraft support to get it resolved.

The external transverter will not help, I believe it has to do with your 
FM filtering, and that will not change whether the transverter is 
internal or external.

73,
