[Elecraft] frequently low batt
Since I installed the latest software on KSB2 I realize frequently low batt message at the diplay of my K2. Anyone got the same problem or have an idea?

Re: [Elecraft] frequently low batt
I expect there is really nothing wrong. It is most likely that you bumped the 'display voltage' slide switch on the top of the Control Board during the firmware install. Check and move it back to the INT position. I believe it will 'cure' the problem. Newer K2s (3000+) have a jumper instead of the switch because of this situation. 73, Don W3FPR - Original Message - Since I installed the latest software on KSB2 I realize frequently low batt message at the diplay of my K2.

[Elecraft] frequently low batt message
Thanks guys! (not only) Jim wrote Make sure that the Voltmeter switch (S-1) located on the top left side of the Control Board is in the INT(12V) position. It is very easy to bump it into the EXT position while installing the KSB2. 73 Jim Younce K4ZM K2 SN: 18 What a crazy fault :-) Thanks and 73 from DG9NCL, Norbert (Bert) ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Re: [Elecraft] frequently low batt
Tom, The 'problem' has already been fixed - the later K2s use a jumper instead of the switch. For those having older K2s, simply removing the switch and adding a jumper will disable the switch function. I don't think many folks use the external voltmeter function of the K2 - but I have not changed mine because I envision the time when I use my K2 portable, have a problem, and there is no other voltmeter available - yes, unlikely, but still a possibility. 73, Don W3FPR - Original Message - I wonder if anyone HAS NOT accidentally bumped this switch. Anyone have a solution for future versions? This seems to a be fairly simple problem to fix, but its certainly happened to quite a few of us.
