Hi Guys,
I seem to have K2 #5885 perking along quite well. I also installed the NB, DSP, SSB board and 160 board. With those behind me, I'm on to the KPA 100. On my initial voltage checks, page 25 of the manual, I'm getting some bad readings. Test Point Reading Should be U1 pin 1 7.0 5.0 U1 pin 7 8.0 0 - 0.1 U1 pin 13 7.0 0 - 0.1 U1 pin 20 7.0 5.0 U1 pin 27 7.6 5.8 U4 pin 11 5.8 5.0 I pulled U1, and all readings were within spec except for U1 pin 7 13.1 0 - 0.1 U1 pin 27 8.0 5.8 So, it seems that voltage regulator U3 is OK, as it reads 5.0 with U1 out of the picture. Could I have a bad Q12?, or is it possible U1 is the culprit, or ????

Don,
Is U1 installed the 'right way around'? The voltages you measured with U1 removed seem to be correct for that condition. You may have a faulty U1 on your hands. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > Hi Guys, > > I seem to have K2 #5885 perking along quite well.
