Hello everyone, I'm sorry to trouble you with something which you've probably had posted a thousand times. I'm very new to the hobby and am struggling to get the K1 to work.
Symptom: Up power on the current drain is high (as much as I would allow the bench supply to give). This is with just the RF board and front panel connected. Supply is a bench supply with 12.5v and max 1 amp. On my first attempt to use the rig the Q7 on the finals melted. This has been replaced but it was clearly the poor recipient of the high current and not the cause. I have carefully checked each component is in the correct place and orientation. I've checked each solder joint. What I need are some places to start troubleshooting the issue. Your assistance will be greatly appreciated. 73 Ian VP8DLJ _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
