For the last few weeks and with the APP discussion, I was concerned that 
the DISPLAY on my K2/100 was showing 10.44 volts in receive mode whereas 
the DVM on my power distribution panel was showing a good 13.1 volts.

I was just about ready to tear this complex 12V power distribution 
system designed to commercial communications facility standards apart 
when I noticed that the LEFT side of the display was indicating 12.4! 
Yup....I was reading the divider and the current (0.44 A) as if it was 
10.44 volts !

55 years as a ham and 51 years as an electrical engineer 
notwithstanding....

We all live and learn.  I had to share that with y'all!
