My 8 volt regulator also outputs exactly 7.56V. I replaced it with one I bought here in Norway last week. It's also quite low at 7.62 volt. Specs guarantee it to be over 7.5V if I remember correctly so I guess we can't complain too much.
But if you have a hard time getting the ALC voltage up to 3.8 volt according to the manual you can solder a 10K resistor across RP6 pins 3-4 on the control board (Gary from Elecraft suggested this for me). This works great and I now see 3.8V but it doesn't really make much of an audible difference. Are - LB3SA TF3KX wrote: > > In my case I never resolved if the MC1350 actually was bad.

I will ask Elecraft to send me a new regulator. > -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/K2---signal-loss-in-band-pass-filter-tp17294418p17631255.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
