[Elecraft] K2 Assembly Question

[DW Holtman]

Hello,

I'm in the middle of building a K2, S/N 6412.

I have a couple of questions, hopefully some of the knowledgeable Elecraft 
people on this forum can help.

While doing the Alignment and test Part 1, I had a couple of readings that 
were not in specs.

1. Page 48, Setting the AGC Threshold, the manuals calls for adjusting  R-1 
for a reading of 3.80VDC on pin 5 of U2. The highest R1 would adjust to is 
3.60VDC.

2.  Page 48 Bargraph Current test. The manual calls for a current reading of 
0.16 to 0.18. My K2 reads 0.25 amps. That is quite a bit higher than what is 
called for.

Any suggestions? Are these readings anything to worry about?

Thank you in advance for any help.

Best,
DW Holtman
