K2 S Meter

Hello all I am at the test 1 phase of the build
The problem I am having is that when I set the Slo or
SHi the far right dot is the only one lighting up.
It says in the manual that (Slo) the far left led
and it is on 10. I double checked my agc and it is at
3.80 so that is not in question is there something
I am overlooking?? if so what? or am I looking at a
mistake in one of my steps?
Thanks
David KR4OW

Re: K2 S Meter

Be sure to turn the RF Gain fully clockwise and counterclockwise as
describe in the manual when ajusting S Lo and S Hi.

Re: K2 S Meter

Hello Jean-Francois,

Also, be sure that the AGC is in fact turned ON. To be certain that it's
on, simply tap the AGC button once. If it was previously off, that will
turn it on, and if it was on already, it will simply change the AGC
time-constant from either fast to slow, or the other way around.

If you are concerned that you never see more thatn one of the S-Meter
LED's lit at a time, then you most likely have the "DOT" mode selected,
as opposed to the "BARGRAPH" mode. To change it, locate the "GRPH" menu
item on the Primary Menu. You'll notice three possible settings for GRPH:
bAr (Bargraph)
OFF (No S-Meter LED's will be displayed)
dOt (Only a single LED at a time will be displayed, as a power-saving
feature)

If you select "bAr" you should see all S-Meter LED segments lit when the
right-most LED is lit.

Hope this helps.

Re: K2 S Meter

Sorry, yes I realized that shortly after sending it, but figured David
would still see it. I need to be more careful when looking at the
hierarchy of messages... :-)
