K60XV help

John Wiener
Hi,

I just installed the K60XV on K2 #5312.  I did not receive "INFO 080"  
when first turned on.  After changing D19 to yes on secondary menu, I  
could not find the band.  I removed the board and replaced it after  
determining that the pins were inserted correctly.  THEN, I got the  
evil "INFO 080" when turned back on.

If the K60XV board is unplugged (still connected to phono plugs), K2  
is normal.

I have checked the values of C12 and R1: both correct.  The notch on  
U1 is facing the relay.   There are no obvious solder problems.

Any and all help greatly appreciated.

John

RE: K60XV help

John,

The most likely thing wrong is that the K60XV is not properly plugged into
the RF Board headers.

I have 'been there, done that' many times.  It is difficult to see under the
board while plugging it in, but get your head down close to the board and
peer under it.  If the board is tilted when inserting it, the headers can
easily end up one pin off.  The connections to the RCA jacks are a bit tight
and make it difficult to get it right - pull the board up as high as you can
and then make it parallel with the RF Board before attempting to plug it
into the headers.
