[Elecraft] PLL Range and a problem when in TUNE.

Fri Dec 26 16:18:24 2003

Sounds like a good plan!=20

Yes- that's WAY too much power for a basic K2.=20

I asked because the K2/100 defaults to about 20 watts output in "TUNE". =
It
shouldn't go to that much power when the POWER control is below 10 =
watts,
but it would have pointed to a power control problem rather than =
something
more drastic.=20

It's a base K2.        =20

Also john w1rt recommend removing and rewinding T4:                      =

	Having just been there, I'd recommend removing and rewinding T4. I

	believe the links were causing the problem, I ended up putting them
in=20
	*before* installing the transformer, keeping the routing pretty
similar=20
	on both sides and generally keeping everything as symmetric as
possible.=20

I admit that I may have mis-wound T4.
