K2 first power on test without relays

John Cooper


My k2 is almost ready for its initial power on test.  Studying the schematics I think its safe to do so before installing relays as I have not ordered those yet, any reason it wont work?.  Also won't have 1n5871 sb530 yet either.  I realize preatt bands and other switches won't work yet.  And the diode was reverse polarity protection for battery input.  My plan was to install relays as I need em.  Would wait but anxious to try out tricolor led bargraph and see it come on

John,

You will need the VFO Range select relays to get any VFO frequency that
is usable, and you need the bandpass filter relays to establish a path
through the BPF, and you will need the LPF relays to get a proper path
through the LPF.  So get all the relays in before attempting any testing.
