[Elecraft] LO BATT

[Don Wilhelm]

Manuel,

Strange LO BATT messages usually occur if the jumper on Control Board P7 is
set to the EXT position.  It should be set to the INT position for correct
readings of the internal K2 voltage and current.

Those with older K2s may remember this well, there was a switch that was
easily bumped into the wrong position instead of the jumper in the post SN
3000 K2s.

If your switch IS in the correct position, check your power supply wire and
its connections to see where the voltage is dropping significantly.

73,
Don W3FPR
