I'm happy to say that my XV50 (formerly fried XV144) came to life and has
passed all of its tests. I need to get a trustworthy frequency counter to
really get it tweaked up, but it seems to make full power, and hear well. As
usual, the only real problems I had were in properly configuring the K2

during initial testing, I think that cause

The power knob does control the power output from the low power output
jack on the K2. With the power knob set at full rotation, wha
Hello,
I finally finished my XV50, got it debugged and working. Now there is one more
problem/question.
