Gm Group I connected a newly acquitted “twin” Amp and Tuner in a separate enclosure setup this weekend.
While bench testing with a dummy load I noticed that I would get high a current message if the power setting was turned over midway, and the amp was trying to produce more than 100 watts! I disconnected the Amp and Tuner, continued to test the bare K2. On 40 meters my power setting wasn’t tracking the actual output. The actual power out was a lot higher than the radio’s setting. I downloaded the calibration instructions and continued testing. When I Set the power to 2 watts and attempt to peak the 40 meter coils, The power goes up to over 10 watts? I pulled the lids and looked at the connections around the 40 meter coils, also I did a reflow on the connections in that area. I’m trying to understand the cal instructions? If you set the control at 2 watts and peak the two coils, and the power is higher, how will it track accurately? I’m trying to decide if I have a problem With my Radio, or am I just not understanding the calibration instructions?? I went to Don’s website and downloaded his condensed instructions, but I was too tired to give them a try!!
