KAT2 Relay Problem

[wb2ssb]

I am trying to install my newly built KAT2 into my newly built K2 ...
but have hit a wall.  When bringing up the ATU ... L0,L1, L2, ... menu
functions, I am supposed to hear relays click ... but I do not (and my
hearing ain't bad!).  I have checked all of the voltages in the
troubleshooting section and they are all within spec.  Any suggestions
would be much appreciated!

 

Thanks.

Do any of the relays operate (click), or is the problem only with the ones
on the L-C board?

If none of them operate, check that the MCU is properly seated in its socket
with no pins either sticking out to the side of the socket or bent under
(you should remove the MCU to check for bent under pins).

Check the soldering carefully - especially the MCU socket and the pins of P5
and J5.  Pin 1 of P5 and J5 are the relay common connection, and if a solder
connection is missed there, none of the relays on the L-C board will
operate.
