Hi I thought I may have had a RFI problem with my K2/100 that I recently bought but it wasn’t that.
When I hit the tune button sometimes the K2 would start tuning and then half way through do a reset. In the end I measured the current into the 100 watt stage and found that as the tuner tried to find a match the current drawn would Go up and down as you would expect as the load changes. But I found that my 20 amp PSU could not cope with some of the very short current drain that it was asked for and dropped its voltage which caused the k2 to reset half way through its tune cycle . I was going to look for a better PSU , till I found how much a new one was! So in the end I have a 17AmHr Gell pack here that I float across the PSU’s output this will help the PSU cope with the odd high current pulse and also act as a standby Supply in the event of a mains failure. I guess others have found the same problem? 73 Paul M0BMN -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
