RE: [Elecraft] K2 weird problem

Gregg, If the power display does not indicate any output, it is quite possible that VRFDET is being pulled down (which will cause the K2 to develop full power output, and hence your Hi-Cur message). Check the DC voltage on the ALC THR signal (on the KSB2 board U2 pin 5. That should remain at a

Others on the list know infinitely more than I do about how the K2-KSB2 work, but from the symptoms, I would guess that the KSB2 is loading down the VRFDET line so that the K2 thinks it isn't generating enough power. It then tries to up the power, gives the high current warning, and drops back to

Yes, you can just pull the SSB board, and put in two jumpers (the ends of the end jacks) and one capacitor (pins 5 and 7 of the big jack, C169 IIRC - Check the schematic. I have no ideas on the cold/High-current issue. Dan / WG4S / K2 #2456 -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Rework-Eliminators. Here's where they are great. Get the module header boards and build them up. Takes maybe a hour and you'll have a full set of plug-in dummy boards to replace the options you've removed. Great for trouble shooting. My K2 shows strange things after power on during TX for the
