Hi All,
I am building my K2 and have reached the initial checkout steps before building
the receiver.
On page 48 of my manual (Rev G if that matters) the instructions say to "Adjust
R1 for a reading of 3.80...."
On my K2 the way it is right now the range of voltages I get by changing R1 is
2.1-3.28Vdc. Hmmm?
I looked at the schematic on the way to work today (I'm still there) and it
doesn't look like there are that many variables here. It is a simple voltage
divider of the 8v regulated voltage to ground as far as I can see and it seems
like the max voltage should be 1/2 of 8V when R1 is completely shorted out. I
haven't checked the 8V source cause I haven't been back home.
Maybe extra useless info - I don't know how the internal volt meter works but
it is reading out correctly (that is I get the same reading as my DMM where I
have made identical measurements) so I assume that the 5V regulator is working
right.
Any thoughts on which points to check? Is my reading of the schematic too
simplistic?
73,
Matthew
