Hello all,
I have completed the assembly of my kat2 and am at the testing phase. The
question is: I hear relay clicking when going thru the display settings for
L0-L8, C0-C8, N1 N2, but NOT for
CALn,CALP, CALS, AUTO, ALT and POUT. Is this normal?
Thanks in advance

Dan,
That is quite normal.

After a recent calamity while attempting PSK31, where I introduced 13.5v
into microphone jack pin 6 (a 5v line), repairs have been made, and I have made
contacts in both cw and ssb modes.
However, I seem to be getting more HI CURRENT warnings on bands and at power
levels where previously,
Check the actual power with an external wattmeter - set the power
control to 5 watts and transmit, then tell us if the actual power is
near 5 watts or near the maximum power (12 watts or over).
It is possible that U4 is faulty. Pin 7 is not used - there are 2 op
amps in the LM358 package, so
Hello Geoff,
I have a quick question, as I have been using an MFJ tuner to a balanced
feedline on a doublet, and have not built a balun for the K2/KAT2 yet.
Is there a bypass mode for the KAT2 such that I can use an external
tuner? ATU AUTO, of course, causes the KAT2 to go thru a tune
Thanks to all who replied! 10 minutes after emailing, I found the answer in the manual! A bit
fuzzy with the flu here - maybe I should get some rest before I toast something in my K2!!!

Yes, Geoff, you will have met that while building

At Don and others, when reading the manual it instructs you to install
R3, R4 and R5 but not to confuse R5 with R6, is R6 supposed to be
installed in this step as well, browsing through the manual i cannoth
find any other direction to install R6.

Chuck,
Did you ever hear the relays click once? Like the first time you attempted
a TUNE with that antenna.
The KAT2 remembers the tuning settings for each band (on each of ANT1 and
ANT2), and when that band is selected there are some clicks from the KAT2
when the bandchange is made along with
getting some spill-over/leakage
into the other Antenna channel.
Thanks, again.

I just finished my KAT2, everything cal'd and aligned according to the
manual using my DL1 dummy load.
When I hook the tuner up to my (10 - 40M) attic dipole and use the tune,
I am expecting to hear some relay sounds, but nothing? Within a few
second the tuner turns off and give me a (allways)
Hi!
Plaese help me with the KAF2-module in my K2.
How I can adjusting null in CALn for best result?
Can I use analog multimeter for best result? How?
Thanks!

Use your DVM to measure the voltage at the wiper of the reflected
potentiometer - adjust for a minimum. If the minimum is high, then check
your work - the diode orientation, the winding of the bifilar transformer,
and other components in the circuit (look at the schematic to identify the
Good people: After all these years I have decided that I may add the
KAT2 to my K2 lid. Although I have the KPA100, I use the K2 barefoot
when travelling and feel the KAT2 would be of use. A quick perusal of
the KAT2 manual suggests that, once the modifications to the K2 have

David,
Good choice - but next you will be needing an EC2 enclosure to mount the
KPA100 so you can have a 'pick up and go' station.
The changes you have already made for the KPA100 will work fine with the
KAT2. Actually, fewer changes need to be made on the base K2 to install the
