Hi all,
After some weeks away from my K2 construction, I'm just at the
point of going through the Part III Alignment, when I noticed two odd
things about my K2:
-First, whenever (in fact always now) I power up my K2, I see he usual
'Elecraft' display light up as normal. But instead of proceeding to the
frequency display, I see a brief display of 'P 14.6'. I can repeat this
everytime. Hmmm...
-On page 78, as I begin to set the power control, the display changes to
show 'P 14.6' again, with the number increasing slightly as I turn the
power control knob slowly clockwise to 14.8 (when I'm really meaning for
it to be 2W). Out of curiousity, I switch into TUNE mode briefly with
DISPLAY set to the meter, and see the current jump from .360 A to 3.8A,
along with a 'hicur' warning.
Now, would I be right in suspecting something is amiss with the power
output control or I've got a short someplace that's creating a boost in
output power someplace?
Thanks for any insight.
Will
