[Elecraft] [K2] K2 KPA100MDKT

2009-03-05 Thread W4HDM

While doing the KPA100MDK to my K2 I noticed R13 on the KPA100 board has a
chip in it like the one in the picture (instruction sheet) for R22. R22 on
mine looked to be ok and was removed and replaced per the instructions.

My question: Can/should I use the removed R22 to replace the chiped resistor
at R13? They have the same values. Or is the chip harmless as is?

Thanks,

Damon,

The resistor *may* be OK, often the ceramic coating gets chipped and the 
resistor is still intact.
OTOH, you can certainly replace it with the one you removed.

As a suggestion - since you are working on the KPA100, why not get the 
KPA100UPKT and install all the current changes.  Actually I don't know 
why the KPA100MDKT is still offered since most of the components in that 
kit are also supplied with the KPA100UPKT.
