[Elecraft] K2/100 moron question from NZ7C

[Tim and Nancy Logan]

Hi folks - Everything has gone very well and all tests have been passed
up to page 47 of the K2/100 manual on the Bias Current Adjustment.

First of all, I'm an assembler so I don't even know what bias current
adjustment means.

Second, my DMM has 2 scales on it for amps. One has the letter A with a
~ below it. The other has an A with a bar and three little bars below
that. I don't know what the difference is or which to use. So I tried
the A~ scale. I set it to the 10 amp range.

At .1 watts it read .035 A. (35mA)....way below the 200-400mA range I'm
supposed to see.

At 11 watts it says .055 A (55mA). 

Since these are way below the suggested ranges I don't know what to do.
Help!!! So near but so far! I thought I would finish it tonite! Gee wiz
:-)  Thanks for any thoughts. 73/Tim NZ7C
