K1 for sale
Locked
 
|
I would like to sell my perfectly working K1. Like new; no scratch.
Has KFL1-4 (40-30-20-15 m), KNB1 noise blanker, KAT1 antenna tuner and KBT1 internal battery adapter. I would prefer to sell it to a fellow VE ham. Asking 600,00 Canadian $. Reason for selling: I want to build the K2! My bank manager says I can't have both!

Hi all,
In my previous email I had described that I had my kpa100 working in the K2 enclosure but that it had died when I tried to install it in the EC2 case. I was getting "info 080" and Lyle Johnson had suggested a problem with the aux bus line. I have refined search down to the 5 V line that supplies the max 1406. When I remove U1 on the kpa100 board I get a dead short at pin 1 of U1. This could mean that the 5 V regulator is bad but there are other components connected to this line and any one of these components could be defective (U3, U4, C23, C89, U6, etc). I am now faced with developing a procedure to isolate the bad part. I have already inspected the board for shorts and do not see any. The fact that the kpa100 worked before leads me to believe that a component may have shorted itself out. I could destructively remove each component until the short disappeared but then I would need to replace possibly a lot of parts. The other option would be to isolate each part one at a time by cutting traces. Once the part was deemed OK, I would have to patch the trace and go on to the next part. I would end up with a lot of patched traces. Any suggestions? Thanks, Steve, W2MY -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

Steve,
First remove the regulator which you suspect anyway. If that does not remove the short, then start removing one component at a time until you find it. A good de-soldering tool makes the task a lot easier, and if the price of the potential parts replacement is high, perhaps it is time to invest in a de-soldering tool - you won't be sorry, and you can remove parts non-destructively in most cases. If you do not have a de-soldering tool, the easiest is to cut traces - start by cutting a trace so it divides the suspect components into 2 equal groups, find out which half the short remains in and divide that section into 2 groups again - you don't have to make as many cuts, and you will find it more quickly. I don't know of an easier method unless you happen to spot a solder bridge along the way. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- .
