K2: Problem 40 Meter Alignment -- SOLVED

[jperelst]

I think.

 

I was looking at something on the MJF web site and for the hell of it looked up the 4110.  Even though the MFJ-4110 itself has a label saying 14v at 2800mA, the web site says that typical output is 13.8v at 1.3 amps!!!!!

 

So I hooked the K2 up to my PowerFlex battery (13.8v at 15 amps) and had no trouble with the 40 meter alignment.

 

Is this another case of "MFJ strikes again"?

Jon,

That is the difference between 'average' and 'continuous'.  For SSB and
higher speed CW (which are cyclical), that power supply will likely be
adequate, but for a TUNE cycle (which is continuous), the current
available will not be adequate.
