I finished K1 #2427 and actually made a contact to Austria with it Friday.
Today I added the KAT1 antenna tuner which seems to work as well (after I
remembered to move the jumper to get the power readings from the tuner...)
Overall a very nice package, but I have one issue I would appreciate some
advice on. During the voltage checks in the first part of the RF board
assembly: the voltage on pin 5 of U3 was 3.73, slightly less than the
specified 3.8-4.2 range. Other voltages were in the lower part of the
specified ranges. I checked with two different dvm's and got very similar
results, though admittedly neither are high accuracy... Everything else
looked good, and I decided to continue on. As I said, the radio worked
perfectly when completed, but should I be worried about the low voltage.
