On the weekend, I picked up a nice K2 set - a K2 with internal tuner and
battery, plus the remoting of the
KAT100 and KPA100 built into an EC2 enclosure.
All set up for QRP in field/portabl/patio or full 100 watts in the shack.
But an odd thing... this all came from a very reliable ham (a techical guy of
long standing circa. 1957 onward) and it was
built according to the KK7P web page guidelines, with a printout of Lyle's
pages on this from the web site.
It does NOT hear RF signals when in the paired mode with amp/tuner connected.
I have it set up as per the photos.. with DB9 cable between the I/O Aux jacks
on the PA/KAT and the base K2, and antenna attaches to ANT 1 UHF jack on the
PA/KAT box.
I hear RF fine if I put the antenna line on the basic K2 BNC Antenna 1 jack,
but nothing heard in the full setup.
I read the pages.. it seems the K2 is to have the tuner set at CAL from what I
read, but whether in CAL or in Auto.. I still get nothing heard.
I am assuming the RF somehow, somewhere passes from the K2 to the PA/KAT via
this IO Aux line?
Any ideas...?
I figured it would be all ready to go.. sort of direct from his shack table
onto mine, but something seems amiss.
tnx
