Hi All, Just a quick question(s)..
I've just finished my K2 and have a few of the options on order, including the internal battery kit. I was reading the on-line manual and noticed the info about supply voltage required to charge the battery. This states 14.0 +/- 0.2v at the jack, or 13.7 on the internal voltmeter. I have a small switch-mode supply I use with the radio which according to my DMM is giving 13.9v on the jack, but the internal voltmeter is reading only 13.3v. I have 2 cheap DMM's and they are both giving 13.9v on the jack, so I'm hoping these are a little closer to the truth than the internal voltmeter. How critical is the 14v, and would it be too much of a problem if the supply was actually running at 13.4 - 13.5v from the point of view of charging the battery ?? On a different subject all together, I've also ordered the SSB module, and was thinking of using an MFJ headset I've had sitting about for ages (model MFJ-393). I just wondered whether anyone had tried one of these, and had any thoughts (apart from the usual comments about MFJ !!). I'd planned to wire the mic socket up with the 5.6k resistor supplied with SSB kit as the mic element requires 1-9v. If this fails I have a MH-31 from my FT1000..
