Well, I fired up my beloved K2 for the QRP contest this weekend and was treated to a Lo P indication. Bummer. I think the KAT2 is acting wierd. When to to TUNE with a dummy load, the display flashes in sequence ATU, then 10:1, then Lo P. If the KAT2 is in CAL P or CAL S to bypass the little critter, the same three messages occur. In the ATU mode, when I rotate amongst the various, I do NOT hear relays clicking in N1, N2, or CAL P. Is this normal? Relays do click in all the C and L settings as well as for AUTO. It looks like the KAT2 is not even trying to tune to the dummy load unless the reset position for all relays is 50 ohm. I've tried this at 5w and for all the bands. In the interests of full disclosure, the first time I tried TUNE HI Current did flash momentarily. I also did have the KAT2 disconnected last week when trying to install KIO2 (which is not installed and THAT is another story). Both of the connectors from the KAT2 are properly seated. I suspect I may have a cockpit error here as the rig worked fine a few weeks ago when I tried it so I haven't started checking voltages as yet. I'm really wondering about the lack of relays clicking on N1, N2, CALS and CALP and could find nothing in the archives about this. Where should I look next? There will always be another QRP contest... 73 de Clark ke4rq _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
