Brett, Check the components in the 15/17 m Low Pass Filter carefully. Examine C218, C219, C220, C221 and C222 for correct values. Then count the number of turns on L23 and L24. Count the number of times the wire passes through the center of the core rather than the turns around the outside.
Go ahead and set the CAL CUR to 3.50 amps. If you add the KPA100, you must increase the setting to 3.50, and with the higher gain using the new transistor at Q6 it is often necessary to increase the CAL CUR limit - it does no harm to increase it. 73, Don W3FPR Brett Gazdzinski wrote: > I built K2 #6673 last week, and everything works well, except for a high > current warning on 15 meters.
