Hello everyone- Thanks to Don Wilhelm and a few others, my K2 is complete and on the air.
After assembly I had a couple issues... one was the voltage on the display was extremely erratic and we were able to determine that the vsense pin on the uP was blown, so I had to purchase a new set of firmware. Kind of a bummer, but I'm over it. Also couldn't get 10 or 12 to transmit, traced it to the bandpass filter and replaced some parts. Did a little damage to the board trying to remove L13. But I'm not convinced there were any bad parts - I think I just didn't turn the slug far enough the first time I tried to peak 10m. Tuned up on my dipole, I can push about 13 watts out on 40m with a current draw of about 2.4ma. I'm happy!! Going to try to get a contact today. Thanks again to Don and anyone else who replied to my inquiries. I'm sure there will be more when I work through the ATU and the SSB Board. 73, K8DJW Dave -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/K2--6638-Online%21-tp2327124p2327124.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
