Hi All, Im new to the group, I have a K1 #744 and just finished installing the KAT1 - Works great, what a rig !
So this is what I have....
I bought a K2 #4436 that was started by a ham who did not have the time to finish it.
He managed to get to page 39 of assembly. When I bought the kit, I was not sure where he exactly left off, and so on,,,, So I went thru several procedures spending a couple hours checking his work, going through the resistance check sheet charts. All looked good. All three charts checked out to be fine. His work looked good.
I continued building the kit and now I am stuck ! I made it to page 42. Yes, a whopping 3 pages ! ;)
Problem. Once the kit is turned on, 'Elecraft' shows up on the screen, then ' 204p 109 ' shows up for a brief second, the rig then displays the 7.100. I then press the display button - nothing, I try all the other front panel buttons, nothing. The main tuning dial does work and the display is fine.
I went to the trouble shooting portion of the manual. I checked the voltage on MCU - the 5v that is required at pin 32 is 4.97. Thats fine. I listened for the 4 Mhz oscillator - its there, loud and clear.
The rig does not display any INFO numbers - No smoke, Relays click in fine. Initial processor set up went fine too.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
