Re: [Elecraft] K2: Control Board Strangeness; Low AGC threshold

a bad connection somewhere. When you bet the better DVM, check the input voltage to the 8v regulator. It should be same as the voltage at your power supply. Good luck, and 73, Mike, W8ENG - Original Message - From: Tim Cailloux [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent

radio the K2 is one of the best available, and the support is excellent. Any way, good luck with what ever you decide, and welcome again to Ham radio. 73 Mike, W8ENG Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: Thursday, November 18, 2004 11:48 AM

Geoff, I think I'm all set for now, and the work is progressing nicely. I would be interested in hearing Elecrafts thoughts on the AGC circuit, and what you thought the problem was. Thanks again for the help. Mike, W8ENG - Original Message - From: Geoffrey Mackenzie-Kennedy [EMAIL

John, My DMM is a $30 Radio Shack unit. I do not have anything handy to calibrate or check the accuracy. It does report DC voiltage to 2 decimal points, but I doubt that it is that accurate. Any way, for now I'm proceeding with construction. Mike, W8ENG - Original Message - From

. The voltage out on the 8v regulator was 7.8,a nd on the 5v regulator was 4.9. I'm thinking that the problem may be low voltage all around. I don't have a better power supply to check with at a higher voltage. Any addational help or comments would be appreciated. 73, Mike, W8ENG - Original Message
