Greetings Sarah, welcome to the hobby, and to a great radio. My AGC
measurement was down a bit, not quite as far as yours, but it has been
discussed here that there is some variation, and that it is not critical
at that point. I re-visited my a little later on in the build process,

Sarah,
Congratulations on getting your license and venturing to build your K2.
The AGC Threshold high limit is directly proportional to the 8 volt
regulator actual output - if you follow the circuit you will discover
that that voltage is really the result of a 3 legged resistive voltage

Well, I searched around a bit and found *another* cheap DMM, which
seels to be reading about 0.12 to 0.14 volts higher than the first
one. Now I don't know which one to believe! :-)
(Carry one watch, or three, but never two...)
Now I need to find my *other* other meter, the analog one I got when
Hi and welcome!
It doesn't happen too often, but have you checked the accuracy of your
cheap DMM? If you don't have anything to compare it with, you can get an
idea of its condition by measuring the voltage across a fresh alkaline
battery. It should read about 1.57 and 1.58 VDC.

Thanks to everyone who replied! Wow, help sure comes in a hurry on
this list!
The general consensus appears to be that I'm ok for the time being
(yay!), so I'm going to go ahead and move on.
I did test with the internal voltmeter as well, and it reports 3.5V.
Special thanks to VE3TIX who
Hi,
I'm Sarah, AF6FH! I just got my license a couple weeks ago, and I'm
now assembling K2# 0622, which will be my first HF radio. I started
assembly on Wednesday night, and so far, everything's been going just
fine.
But...
I'm having a little issue with setting the AGC Threshold.

Welcome welcome Sarah!
Although you are starting at a time when signals are
low, stay on 40 meters at night and you cannot go
wrong. You have chosen the best possible place to
start your hobby, with the Elecraft group and there
are people here to help you with most anything outside
of typing your
