Can anyone exlain why this
I have failed the power supply test on the KPA-100. I measure -0.33v across
the aux power supply to the K2.
Ah... I have confirmed that the reverse polarity protection in the KPA-100
works a treat.
Just in case any of you were too scared to try :-P

Just curious if anyone who has installed the K6XX SMD zero-beat board in their

I used to notice that when I was tuning in 1Khz steps my frequency used to
always end up about 30khz or 50khz higher. So from tuning say from 5050.00 to
7070.00 using the 1Khz tuning rate the fine tune frequency read at would be
7070.03 or 7070.05.
Anyway, I did the recalibration of my K2
