K2-6957 thanks and a question

[kf4clo]

Hi
My thanks to Don,Alan and Richard for thier help locating the PA problem,without them I would have had to send it to Elecraft.
 When hooked to the power supply the supply shows 13.5v and the display on the K2 13.1. It dosen't
matter what power supply or battery I use the results are the same. Its been like that since it was
new. I've had no problems with the K2 other than th PA's last week? Anything to worry about here?
                                                            Thanks Frank kf4clo

Frank,

There is a protective series diode in the K2 - the internal K2 display
reads the voltage on the K2 side of that diode.  Due to the diode drop,
the voltage on the power supply side of that diode will be greater.
