[Elecraft] Error in Kio2 Programmers PDF

Hi,

The documentation for the PC command is correct. The last digit of the
command
indicates whether the AMP is on or off since the K2 can optionally turn
off the AMP
if the power is below 10W or so. Suppose if your K2 does not have the AMP
installed,
and the power setting is 5.0W. Doing a PC, will get a PC0500 returned.

If your AMP is installed, and the power setting is at 50W, doing a PC,
will get a PC0501
returned by the K2.

One key point to remember is that the K2 may send a '0' as the last digit
even though
you have the amp enabled. The reason for this is the K2 will turn off the
amp if the power
setting is below 10W or so.

To fully utilize the amp scale setting, one needs to send the last digit
as '1' if one wants
to use the larger scale.


73 es Hope this will clear things up.
