[Elecraft] K2 #6638 Online!

[djmd]

Hello everyone-

Thanks to Don Wilhelm and a few others, my K2 is complete and on the air. 

After assembly I had a couple issues... one was the voltage on the display
was extremely erratic and we were able to determine that the vsense pin on
the uP was blown, so I had to purchase a new set of firmware. Kind of a
bummer, but I'm over it. Also couldn't get 10 or 12 to transmit, traced it
to the bandpass filter and replaced some parts. Did a little damage to the
board trying to remove L13. But I'm not convinced there were any bad parts -
I think I just didn't turn the slug far enough the first time I tried to
peak 10m. 

Tuned up on my dipole, I can push about 13 watts out on 40m with a current
draw of about 2.4ma. I'm happy!! Going to try to get a contact today. 

Thanks again to Don and anyone else who replied to my inquiries. I'm sure
there will be more when I work through the ATU and the SSB Board.

73,

K8DJW

Dave
