Re: [Elecraft] K2 DSP Problem

2005-01-13 Thread Lyle Johnson

 Finally had a chance to work on some of my kits.

I had completed the DSP kit and just now am installing
it.

No smoke


That's good!


but the red LED remains on.


That's not so good.

...
 Any suggestions?

The LED comes on when the DSPx resets, and goes off when it handshakes 
with U1 on the KDSP2 board.


Do you have any audio?  If so, this indicates the DSPx is initializing 
and the problem might be associated with the LED circuity or U1.


Can you get a display by pressing AFIL?  SF2 or CF2 depending in mode, 
for example. If so, this indicates that U1 is probably working and there 
may be a PCB problem or a DSPx problem.  If not, U1 may be the culprit.


If you can safely probe J1 20 (on the DSPx while plugged into the K2 and 
switched on) you should see that pin 20 (DSPx reset) is pulsed to ground 
at turn-on, then rises to something over 3V.  If it stays low, the DSPx 
is always being held in reset. If it never goes low, the DSPx is not 
getting reset.

Thanks for the suggestion Lyle. I'll check that out. I
didn't have a speaker or headphones connected. From
the SEC menu, I was not able to turn the DSP on.
