I have been stuck on that step for such a long time. Once I read it wrong, every time I got the KAT2 out and thought I'd fix it, I read it the same way. I have resoldered all the parts in the SWR reading circuit multiple times and replaced T1 at least twice.
If I had just read properly, I would have known that the board is fine. My complete K2 is now assembled and working! It has been working fine without the antenna tuner, but now it is complete. Thanks again for your help with this. 73 Jay W9IUF On Sun, Jun 7, 2009 at 10:16 PM, Don Wilhelm<w3...@embarqmail.com> wrote: > Jay, > > Read the instruction again.
