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

[Julie Royster]

Hi David and thanks for your answer.  I don't think the repeater is doing
the clipping as the same signals sound fine on our Icom 706.  I think the
K144XV is doing the clipping.
Yes, we have checked the AGC and tried every possible setting for that.
Thanks,
Julie

Julie - What you say suggests that the strong signals going through the
repeater are the problem if the weaker ones are okay.  Perhaps those strong
stations are over-deviating and are hence being clipped by the repeater's
receiver.

The K3 is a precision transceiver so maybe the fault lies with remote
transmitters. I presume you have your AGC on the K3 correctly set.

No problems with 2 metre repeater use with my K144XV here, nor with
repeaters on 6 metres.
