Hello Don, Sorry for the late reply. Thanks for the guidance I found that I had one of the jumpers in the wrong position, my eye sight is not what it used to be.
I have now run int an info 80 error which only occurs when the transverter control cable is connected. When I disconnect the transverter the error clears after I cycle the power, however the K2 does not see the KPA100 which is in a separate EC2 enclosure with the ATU. Within the K2 menu whilst I can select PORT ON; PA and ATU are blank (three dashes). When I power up the K2 the relays can be herd to click in, as per appendix E in the K2 manual. Do you think that this points to an issue with the Aux bus, I have tried a had reset however the PA and ATU are still not seen? Thank you. Best regards, Richard Hubbard. > On 6 Aug 2020, at 20:48, Don Wilhelm <donw...@embarqmail.com> wrote: > > Richard, > > The components that could be damaged with J7 in place are a few in the > automatic power on circuits.
