I am going thru the checkout like a good guy, when I come to this place
where the book says to set the VFO to 1800.10Khz and run CAL PLL. Being the
nice person that I am, I do this. The next 30 minutes was a time of intese
stress, since I had just experienced a "High Current" condition brought by
removing and installing the heat sink as directed (honest guys it ohm-ed out
before I put the power to it). When I attempted the CAL PLL on 160m as
directed, I of course got an error 230. I had forgotten, one of the errata
sheets had said, WITH THE NEW FIRMWARE YOU ONLY HAVE TO RUN CAL PLL ON 40M.
Help me somebody!!!! I am going to the kitchen to get a nice glass of
something approaching aviation fuel to get my stress level down to
manageable parameters before settling down to watch TV. Tomorrow is the day
to install the KSB2, I wonder what adventures that will hold.......If I get
thru this in good mental and/or physical health, I am going to DisneyLand!

K2 #4028 now on 160 (I think)
