[K2] control board question

John Fritze
I started build one of the 2 K2s I ordered at Dayton (one for me and
the second for Linda K2QYL).  After about 5 hours I have the control
board done.  I did the resistence measurments as specified and all are
OK, except for U6 pins 29 &30, the DIT and DAH pins.  The manual
specifys between 70-90K ohms, I have 95K on both.  I'm guessing that
is OK.  Or do I need to look for something fairly minor?

Hi John,
You should be fine. Take your time and enjoy the build.

Finish the one K2 before you start the other. It'll go a whole lot
smoother when you know what to expect.

Also, I'd recommend you consider getting pre-wound toroids from Mike
Morohovich ( 412) 481-2349 [hidden email]. Toroids aren't much
fun, and if the enamel isn't properly removed, any poor connections can
lead to all sorts of grief.

Cheers, Alan
