Mark,

On which radio?  If it is on the K2, open the top (or remove the KPA100) 
and check the position of the switch or jumper on the top of the Control 
Board slightly to the right if center.
The switch should be positioned toward the center of the K2 or if a 
jumper, the jumper should be on the 2 header pins closest to the center.

Lo Batt can also be caused by a faulty power supply connection, power 
supply connections that are not tight.
If you assembled APP connectors, make certain the contact blades are 
fully inserted.  If you look in at the end of the connector and can see 
the tip of the spring as well as the tip of the contact blade, it is not 
properly assembled - push the contact blade and wire in more until you 
hear the spring blade click into place.

Make certain your power supply is 13.8 volts to 14.3
(or even 14.6) volts.

73,
Don W3FPR
