K2 build question

[Gary D Krause]

I just completed the second alignment and test of the K2 and everything
checked out fine.  I noticed that only the leading bar is lit on the s-meter.
 In other words, if the signal strength is S-9 only that bar is lit and all
the others to the left are not.  I suspect that isn't normal however, I kind
of like it that way.  Is that normal?

Gary, N7HTS

Gary,

You can have it either way you like - for a bar display, set the menu
GRAPH to 'BAR', for a single LED to be lighted, set it to 'DOT'

all is well.  the K2 menu has dot and bar modes, so
you can set it up for either.  it will take a while to
find what all these settings are used for.  

(push menu and look thru something that abbreviates
s-meter by scrolling with the main tuning knob, then
HOLD the menu button until it jumps to the right, then
scroll thru options, then HOLD the menu button to
accept your setting).  

enjoy the build and pace yourself!  the HF bands
should only get better so don't rush and end up with
rework and troubleshooting.
