Ed, A 2 V drop sounds excessive - the internal series protective diode in the positive 12 V supply line does reduce the voltage sensed by the K2's internal voltmeter, but not by more than 0.5V under normal conditions.
Are you reading the voltage on the K2 display in TX or RX mode? What is the indicated current draw on the K2 display in each mode? 73, Mike, K8CN -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Voltage-reading-on-K2-display-low-tp7361749p7361804.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
