No joy during power calibration. On my KAT100, Ive completed the initial
tests involving the LED sequences, the Menu and Relay tests and all appears
fine. However, after completing the SWR Bridge Null Adjustment at 10mV and
then moving to the Power calibration of R4, at pin 5 of U5, with 20 watts
out of my K2/100, I only detect a range of mV (app. 100-20) on my DVMno
where near target of 2.7 V. My set up is dummy load (15w) on RF In and coax
from K2 to ANT1 on KAT100 with the control cable (K2 and KAT100) and power
cable to the KAT100 removed. In accord with manual, before power was turned
off at K2 and KAT100, , K2/100 was set to CAL mode and Menu exited prior to
shutdown. The power level of the K2/100 is set at 20 watts. In TUNE, the
K2s LCD registers HiCurr and then 9.9-1. With the K2/100 set at 20 watts,
at the KAT100s Ant. 1 jack, I detect 20 mV and with an RF probe, 2.7 Vrms.
Solder joints look good and parts placement seems to be correct. All
diodes properly oriented. T1s leads show correct placement with clean
solder on the wire above the board. With all power off, K17 shows 0 ohms
from pins 1-3 and 1-4. K2 in Tune mode at 20 watts on LCD was less than 30
seconds and the dummy load showed no signs of noticeable warming. Help with
troubleshooting would be appreciated.
Tnx es 73.
