Finished K2 #4028 in January and never had any problem with low power output, until.... it showed up on the reflector recently with all the discussion about T2 and the binocular transformer. That did it! I fired up the rig to call an IK2 and no power on 17M and above. 160 thru 40 were fine, 20 was lower than usual. OH me! Down to the bench and out with the scope and hook up everything and the power was back! Decided to take some measurements for future reference and when I touched the XMT buffer output pin, things began to happen. Turned the rig over and reheated everything around the buffer and we are back 100%. Moral of the story, sometimes it takes a while for a problem to show up....
73 Jim, W4ATK PS the IK2 was gone by the time I got the rig back in the shack! _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
