[Elecraft] KAT2

[Fred Jensen]

This is primarily for Don, whose address I don't have, but read on.

DON: the 78L05 regulator arrived today.  Once installed, the KAT2 loaded
my flag pole (I use it as a rx antenna sometimes) just fine -- relays
chattered for maybe 4 sec, made one QSO on 30m, flag flapping and all. 
Apparently 11.7V on the rest of the devices didn't kill them.

ALL:  In the process of installation, I found two unsoldered connections
in my K2 which was the first Elecraft thingy I built.  It's been working
fine, but, after the new V-reg was installed in the KAT2, the tuner was
still dead.  I am a turtle, and I count and check off every pin to be
soldered, and then check it off again when I have soldered it.  Both of
these were obvious if you were looking at them.  So much for the "Turtle
Technique."
