Re: [Elecraft] What is wrong with my K2 #6705 ??

Fred, You will still need an accurate dummy load to set the balance on the KAT2 correctly. If the dummy load is not accurate, the power calibration will be off as well. The Elecraft DL2 is a great dummy load. 73, Don W3FPR Fred Bennett N9TA wrote: >Don > > We're thinking alike I think. I

Re: [Elecraft] What is wrong with my K2 #6705 ??

Don We're thinking alike I think. I've started with the assembly of the KAT2 option. I've still got the KAT2, Batt, SSB, KIO2, and 160M options to build. I'm hoping the installation of the KAT2 will "fix" my problem. Fred Don Wilhelm wrote: > Fred, > > That dummy load is way off

Re: [Elecraft] What is wrong with my K2 #6705 ??

Fred, That dummy load is way off at DC, so who knows what the actual value is at RF. It could be the only source of your problem. Specifically, *any* deviation from 50 ohms pure resistive will cause the basic K2 to indicate (and control) power incorrectly. That dependency is removed when the K

Hi Folks I stayed home from work today to do a little work with #6705. At first I had NO output on 12 metersFIXED...just WAY out of adjustment on C44 & C46 (Very touchy until in the ballpark on C44). Here's the remaining problemlow output across the bands: All readings taken with digit
