[Elecraft] K1 test supplies

[Don Wilhelm]

Greg,

Other than your DMM and dummy load, you will not need anything else if 
all goes well.
A comment on your "multimeter" -- if that is an older analog type, you 
should replace it with a DMM (digital type) because the analog type uses 
a high voltage for measuring resistance and will turn active devices 
into conduction and give you erroneous readings.  Even an inexpensive 
DMM like the type that go on sale for less than $10 at places like 
Harbor Freight will work just fine.

The signal generator (I assume the XG2) can be used for making MDS 
measurements and setting the S-meter response.
If you run into trouble, you may need a stronger signal source on each 
of the K1 bands covered - another transmitter operating into a dummy 
load will do for that task.  If you have trouble with the transmit 
section, you will need an RF Probe to do Transmit Signal Tracing.
