[Elecraft] Alignment procedure for K2 ser#~2700

[Don Wilhelm]

Martin,

Go ahead and use the new manual if your firmware is version 2.01 or 
higher.

The main difference with version 1.0x firmware is that CAL PLL must be 
done on each band with the earlier firmware, and with version 2.01 and 
above it is run only on 40 meters.

It sounds like your filters need to be aligned and the frequency display 
calibrated.  You can start with the K2 Dial Calibration article on my 
website www.w3fpr.com.  Detail of using Spectrogram for setting the 
filters can be found on Tom Hammond N0SS (SK) website which has been 
preserved by the mid-Missouri Amateur Radio Club and can be found at 
http://www.mmccs.com/mmarc/n0ss/ - scroll down to Elecraft K2 Related 
Files, and on that page Scroll down to the Spectrogram document.
Do not use Tom's link to find Spectrogram.  I have preserved a copy of 
both version 5.17 and version 16 (both freeware) on my website.  Scroll 
to near the bottom of the home page to find the links.

73,
Don W3FPR
