Hi everyone,
I've been working with Gary at Elecraft on a problem getting the K60XV to work. Wanted to see if anybody had a similar experience or has advice. I was getting a resistance reading between pins 13 and 14 of U1 on the K60XV at 99 ohms...it's supposed to be in the megohm range, apparently. The reading was probably thru a cap (C12?) because it started at zero and slid up to 99 ohms. When connected to the K2, I get the ol' "INFO 080". After removing U1 from its socket, I still get 99 ohms between pins 13 and 14. I removed C12...still 99 ohms I removed R1...now open. Any ideas?

John,
99 ohms is awfully close to the 100 ohm resistor value in the AUXbus (U1 pin 13) line, and U1 pin 13 is connected to P1 pin 8. Look for a short between P1 pin 7 (Auxbus) and pin 8. Make the same check with the K60XV removed from its headers. If you find a short with the K60XV removed from the header, check the K60XV board for the source of the short, but if it only occurs with the K60XV plugged into its headers, the problem is on the K2 RF Board. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > > I've been working with Gary at Elecraft on a problem getting the > K60XV to work.
