Hello Dave,
I have a K1 that I’m looking to sell, and took a look at the power output before listing it. Power output is as follows: 40 meters 5.2 watts 30 meters 4.5 watts 20 meters 1.3 watts 17 meters 0.7 watts These are obviously not the expected power output levels. Power supply voltage = 12.8 volts. Output set to 7 in the menu. What type of fault would this indicate?
All components for the filters for 40 meters and 30 meters filters are located between same contacts sides of K5A/K5B and K6A/K6B. The components for 20 meters and 17 meters are located all on the other sides of these relais contacts.
I therefore advise you to check the contacts of these relays as a first step. If you have switched the K1 to 40 meters or 30 meters, zero ohms should be measurable with an ohmmeter across the contact.
