Hi,
I originally built my K2 #2204 about 5 years back, and have had a
ball with it, bringing it up to date with all the latest mods and small
alterations, but, like others on the reflector here, I was finally bitten
by the " build another kit" bug and consequently built myself another K2 #5577.
Both K2's go remarkably the same, but the older K2 has a noticeably dimmer
display than the new one which raises the questions :-
(1) Do the back light LED's dim with time? ......the older K2 *has* had a
lot of use.
(2) Would changing R10 to (say) 22ohms have any detrimental effect on the
life of the back light LCD's?
I'm not worried about current increase (I use a 40 amp supply) but would
such a change give me more back light without compromising components in
the Front panel board?(ie U3). I doubt there is a problem but it is always
wise to ask ..........
Cheers.......Ron ZL1TW
