I have a K2 that just returned from a full going over, config, and realign.
I am getting the HiCur warning real quick when I key it up. 40 through 15 meters will produce the message when the power setting is adjusted to 6.7 or higher. On 160 and 80 the error kicks in at 5.3. Lower power than that will not produce the message in same bands. Bands 12 & 10 meters do not produce the error. I pressed display button until voltage showed. Pressed tune, voltage dropped from 13.00 to 12.4. Repeated same test, has same results. The power cable is the same on that came from Elecraft. I checked Cal Curr in menu. It was set to 4.0. I turned up to 4.5 and tried CW (letter E) again, resulting in same message "HiCur" at same places. Turned Cal Curr setting to 3.5, and tried again. Same results at same place. Radio is the 15 watt model that was built in upper 3000 serial numbers. It has all the updates and latest firmware installed. Also has the following options installed: KSB2, K160RX, KNB2, KAF2, KIO2, KAT2, & KBT2. Power Supply is 30 amp Astron. Weighs about 35 or 40 pounds (it seems), and nothing else is connected to the PS except K2. The antenna is an UltiMax end fed, 33' vertical wire. Everything else seems to work flawlessly. What else should I check to clear this HiCur error? Thank You and 73, Steve ______________________________________________________________ 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]
