Allan, Do you actually have power flowing through the KAT2? Power is necessary to generate voltage at the diodes D1 and D2 cathodes. If you can temporarily connect an external wattmeter between the KAT2 and the dummy load, see if power is getting through. Once you determine that there is power flowing out of the KAT2, remove the external wattmeter before attempting to set C55 to its final setting.
If you do have power flowing and still have a display of 000, be certain you have the potentiometers set to full clockwise (max rotation). Check the orientation of D1 and D2 and look for soldering problems. Measure the DC voltage at the wiper of R2 - If you have voltage at the wiper of R2, but still a zero display there is a problem between R2 and pin 4 of U1. 73, Don W3FPR Allan Glasdam wrote: > Hi guys > After receiving great help from Don off list with the KAT2, I have a new > "problem" > KAT2 assembly and operating instruction page 16, second from bottom > says: adjust C55.
