Good Evening men/ladies,
I recently completed K2, #4799. Everything worked without any big
problems. I completed all of the alignment and was really very
satisfied. I thought I'd go ahead with the KAT2 and then finish the
other options a little later. I got it built and installed and was
almost to the end of the Power Calibration section, when things went
south. I had DL1 connected to ANT1 and was doing the math and watching
the LCD . It was reading just a few tenths volt different. I decided to
check the WM-2 while I was at it before going off to bed. I connected
the DL1 to the WM-2 and then it to the back ot the top cover. I placed
the rig into TUNE and saw nothing on the WM-2 or LCD. Hockey!
I had inadvertently connected the WM-2 to ANT2. The total time the
rig was in TUNE while I wiggled and jiggled cables was probably 10-15
seconds. I lost output on the tuner. I went back to the rig's ANT out
and checked for output. I still have it there.
I checked all voltages and they are right on (bottom page 22 , KAT2
manual). I checked D1-2 out of circuit and they're ok. I touched up T1
connections. I used the RF probe and detected very little with P6
connected. There really isn't that much on the board to check, but it
sure ain't working! I knew better than to keep playing when I had the
thing licked !
Anybody got any ideas? I'll continue to plug away and pull ends of
the few resistors before calling it a night.
Thanks,
John, KD5EJA, K1 #679, KX-1 #479, K2 #4799
