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!
