[Packet] PK-232

[Doug Younker]

Thanks for the heads  up Terry; never realized the PK232 was that
persnickety,  however no one mentioned a 12V wall wart.  The data printed on
wall warts,even those supplied with the equipment, should be considered
"nominal".  Anyway if one doesn't have the OEM supply one's stash of wall
warts is a logical first step if one doesn't have 12V, generally 13.8V+/-,
station power supply to use.  Use a fused power cord with the station power
supply, many devices use simple over-voltage protection that will not work
if the equipment is protected by a fuse.--Doug

: it will not reset properly on power up if you do not give it the
