Tonight I decided to check out my K2, QRP configuration, for Field Day. I tried it on 40, 20 and 15 meters, and it put out a solid 14-15 watts, drawing about 3.5 amp.
Then suddenly it went dark. The fuse in my rigrunner had blown. Silly me, I had plugged the K2 into a slot with a 2 amp fuse. I replaced the fuse with a 5 amp one, and started it up again. But now I can only get about 10w maximum when the power control was turned all the way up! Current draw is now about 2.15 a. So, did I blow one of my finals? And if so, could the blowing of the external fuse be the cause? -- 73, Vic, K2VCO Fresno CA http://www.qsl.net/k2vco ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
