Just completed assembly of my new K2. Have all the options (160, DSP, NB,
SSB) built except for the 100 watt PA unit. Unfortunatly my DSP unit was
missing a .33 film type capacitor. Wish I had something to stick in as a
temp so I can play :)
Anyway, during the alignment process I ran across the problem where my
current draw is 2.5 amps at 5 watts which is about an amp higher than it
should be.I checked my components and they seem to be installed properly and
I checked voltages on tranistors in the transmitter and they look good.
I am sure Gary can get me straight when they open back up on Monday but was
hoping to get it going over the weekend.
Anyone have an idea what I can look for?
Thanks and 73,
Rich
