[Elecraft] K2 bring-up

[Paul Bartlett]

Hi All,

I've just reached the stage of commissioning the TX. (Alignment and test,
Part III)

Every time I key the TX, the PSU I'm using (14V current limited at 2A)
flashes it's over current LED and the control CPU reboots.

I've checked (most of) the DC levels against the DC voltage tables for the
RF board and all seem to be in the ballpark. Trouble is, as soon as I try
'TUNE' or key the transmitter, the thing resets.

I've set o/p power to minimum and limted TX current to well within the
capabilities of the PSU but to no avail.

I suspect I've got a short somewhere and will make a further detailed visual
inspection shortly. In the meantime, has anybody else had a similar
experience?

Best,

Paul
