K2 S/N 03885 Symptoms: low power and no ALC action when on SSB.
CW With E= 13.0V on the K2 display, if I transmit CW into a dummy load PWR=10 gets me 10W according to my un-calibrated power meter and draws 2.3A (40m). SSB If I inject 1kHz sinewave into the Mic socket, for 100mV pp i/p I see about 6W out. Current varies between 1.9 and 2.2A and E comes down to 12.5 under load. Interestingly, there's zero action on the bargraph in ALC mode. Needing 100mV to get 60% of set power seems high. I thought I should get 100% with 50mV. Even with 1.6V pp i/p, I only see 8W o/p 73 Gareth ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
