[Elecraft] K1 construction manual for Rev D and earlier

[Don Wilhelm]

Ken,

Sorry, I do not have an older K1 manual.  If anyone has a pdf copy, I 
would like to have it too.

I can tell you how I set the TS offset on these older K1s, but it does 
take a few extra pieces of gear.
I use a signal generator (another transmitter working into a dummy load 
will do) to produce a signal and receive it (zero beat) at the K1 
sidetone pitch on both the K1 and a monitor receiver.
Then without touching the K1 VFO or the monitor receiver, I transmit 
(into a dummy load) and set the TX offset so the pitch is the same on 
the monitor receiver.
I do play the monitor receiver into the soundcard and view the audio 
pitch using Spectrogram to make certain the pitch is the same, but you 
can do the same by just zero-beating the signal in the monitor receiver 
- tune the TX offset capacitor until it is zero best.

73,
Don W3FPR
