I need to calibrate the reference oscillator in my K2. Don't have any test equipment so I'll need to do it against WWV at 10 MHZ using the N6KR method.
I'm a little confused as to how to zero beat the WWV carrier as it instructs me to. The instructions say to zero beat the carrier precisely, or adjust the VFO for best quality on a voice signal. So, assuming these are both happening at the same time (if they're going to produce the same result) if I have the voice tuned correctly (using USB or LSB mode), I can't hear the carrier, so how can I zero beat it? What am I trying to zero beat the carrier against anyway? Also isn't the voice reception dependent on the BFO setting of the filter? My filter settings are not yet optimized, I was planning on doing that after doing the reference oscillator. I'm confused about all these points. I've also read AB9GV's notes on W3FPR's web page, and I think they just confused me even more. Can anyone shed some light on this for me to make it a little more clear? Thanks. -Ben KB1AHR _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.
