KX1 initial LCD test

[Mike KB4WJA]

When I power up on the initial board test, I get only two backward h's in the right portion of the LCD.

Any idea what the problem is?  I went back over the work and reheated solder joints.  I went through the manual again checked that I had instsalled all to this point. U1 seems
to be seated okay in the holder.


Thanks,

Mike

U1 appears to be the wrong part. It should say "KX1 1.02".

Thanks Craig.  It was the only 28 pin IC included.  I wonder what the XV 1.6e designation is?  I guess I will find out soon…

"XV 1.6e" is a transverter part. I bet it got tossed into the wrong bin in
the kitting area. I'm sure Elecraft will send you a replacement on Monday if
you ask.

The good news is it lights up, so power must be getting to at least some of
the parts. :-)

Mike,

Craig is correct - that firmware chip is for the XV series of transverters.
Send a note to [hidden email] and request the correct KX1 firmware
chip - the label should say KX1  1.02.

Someone apparently put XV firmware chips into the KX1 bin when they were
programmed. Sorry you have to wait for a new chip, but it will not be
long before you have the correct one.

73,
Don W3FPR
