OK, I'll go out on a limb here and say that probably nothing would happen if the K1 were accidently connected to 16 volts. 20 volts create a problem but I don't believe 16 volts would matter. However, since the spec voltage range for the K1 is 15 volts on the high end, I would not vouch for long term operation at 16 volts. If you have a power supply that is developing 16 volts, put a couple of adequately high current diodes in series on the K1 power lead. 73, Don W3FPR -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
