Just what the title says.... I installed a new K144XV and Reference
Oscillator Phase Lock Option tonight.
When I hit the band switch to go up to the 2 meter band, it thru a HIGH
CURR error.
I followed the directions in both install manuals precisely (as
appropriate for a K3s as enhanced), and double checked BOTH sets of
steps after getting the error.
IF I disco the power, wait, reconnect, and then power up (provided I
switch bands out of 2 meters), the error goes away. But if I switch back
to 2 meters, it throws the error again.
I am going to go in and remove the REFLock option and try to just get
the K144XV to "work".
The status light flashes just as described in the manual for "normal
operation". (once or twice on power up, then OFF)
I've verified the supply voltage and current are "normal" 14.2 VDC at
1.47 amps (higher because the subRX was installed a couple days ago.
Any ideas as to what is causing this "issue"? I'm missing all my weekend
nets. <wink>
73,
