[Elecraft] RE: K2 -- stingy voltmeter ?

[DAVE HEALY]

Thanks Tom!

With everyone's help on this radio, I'm starting to feel pretty =
comfortable with it.  And learning, or re-learning, all the stuff that =
I've missed by shutting down the station between sunspot peaks.

I wanted to thank you for the wonderful K2 filter alignment procedure =
using Spectrogram v5.17 that you compiled, it made the alignment so =
easy.

Every time I look for a fix or a mod, somehow your name pops up.  And I =
can always trust your advice.

Thanks so much for spending so much time helping us new guys, Tom. (And =
your work area looks just fine to my eyes).    ;)  ;)

From Tom, N0SS:
Yup. sure is. There's about a 0.3VDC-0.5VDC drop between the DC =
connector ......
