I had the same problem; could only get 3.7 v with R1 cranked all the way to the stop. My 8v regulator put out 7.9 v. At the suggestion of one of the older hands, I calculated the voltage divider and confirming that 3.7v was about as high as I was going to get with that regulator voltage output

Hi All, 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. Just to clarify, that should be K2 #06322... and it took me *three* trie

Mike, Great to hear that you are all set and that the work is progressing - and you are very welcome. About the problem. Your K2 and mine wanted a higher voltage at U2 pin 5 than the "normal" to prevent the AGC working on the receiver's own internal noise. The AGC Threshold was too low and could
