K2 DSP

[Fred Maas]

The DSP unit in the K2 greatly increases the current drawn in rcv mode.

Can the DSP be turned off to reduced current drain when operating portable from a battery ???

  There is a reduced power mode for the DSP in bypass mode.  See the
KDSP2 manual for details.

Seems to be something like 60-80 ma extra running DSP on vs DSP
bypassed on battery.

With DSP you should be able to toggle between three modes by tapping
display: normal, DSP and voltage/current.  In the DSP mode,  probably
showing C something  nr, do a series of holds on BAND+ until you find
dSP on.  Tap BAND- and you should see dSP byP,  This knocks down my
battery drain, but does not seem to make as much a difference if I'm
running on power supply.  Go figure.

73, Guy.
