FW: [Elecraft] K2: First Alignmenttest:High current

Tue Aug 6 16:16:00 2002

How many amps is it really pulling? An external current reading would be
VERY helpful here. If your PS doesn't show amps, throw a 10 ohm resistor in
series with Vcc and tell me what's the voltage drop, K2's E and I readings.

Subject: [Elecraft] K2: First Alignmenttest:High current

Hello Fellow Builders.

Just assembled the K2 Front-Panel and a bit of the
RF-Board for the first test and everything seems to work fine, exept
the power consumption:

The readout should say 12V and abt 0.06 amp.
My K2 shows 12V and abt. 0.16 amp.

A visual Inspection of the boards in the frontpanel shows no errors.
Do i have to worry about this? Is it just a missaligned voltmeter in the
K2?

Martin
