It's ALIVE!!! ...And a quick alignment question...

[David Dietrich]

Hi All!

IT'S ALIVE!!!  K2 #7164 is finally up and running as of last night!  The SMT diode on the bottom of the board wasn't properly connected to the daughter board.  There was a pad, but it wasn't connected to the actual component.  A couple hairs of wire fixed everything!  Happy Day!!

I also have a quick question about installing options and aligning the radio a little more.  After I install my options, I might need to tighten up the alignment a little more.  As long as I do not have the ATU connected, I can do any alignment with the other options installed without having to remove anything?  The options I have are: Noise Blanker, 160 Meters, SSB Module, Audio Filter (not DSP), and the Tuner.

Thanks & 73,

David

Hello David,

Great news on your K2.  I just finished mine a couple of months ago with a couple of minor problems which I needed help getting fixed.  I just got it back earlier this month and have been having a lot of fun with this great little rig.  I was tuning around 10 meters and heard a station calling CQ so I gave him a call.  To my surprise he was in Croatia, 4400 miles from my QTH.  So needless to say it was quite exciting.

I can't help with the alignment but there are lots of folks on this reflector that can.
