[Elecraft] K2 - U8 - 78L05

[Don Wilhelm]

Sergio,

You did not give us the most important part of the numbers on your 
questionable device.  The "LM" part of the number is manufacturer 
dependent, but the 78L05 part is the same over a range of manufacturers.

If your questionable part has is marked LM78L05, then it is the right 
one.  I believe the K2 also includes a 6 volt regulator, so if your part 
is marked with '78L06', you will have to keep looking for the 5 volt 
regulator.

73,
