[Elecraft] Adjusting Samlex PS for proper battery charge voltage

[Gil Stacy]

Opps.  A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing.  Couple that with a screw driver or soldering iron, heaven help me. According to the archives, in adjusting the power source for a proper float charge to the internal battery, one doesn't look for 13.8 VDC on the K2's display.  The proper method is to test and adjust with a fully charged battery and the PS on, but with the K2 off.  The 13.8 voltage should be read across the terminals with a DVM.  This should be done a couple of times over the course of a day to insure a full charge in the battery...
