M0BMN's K1 Christmas present now working !

[m0bmn]

Hi All

 

Thanks to Tom K2TA, I found my problem , D15 was backwards, now K1 #2139  is
alive!

Its working well but just got to get the speaker fitted and bolt it all up.

I have noted that the current drain is a little higher than the spec says so
would like to know what other K1’s are drawing in real life

Mine on Rx is Ok at about 70mA with the backlight option fitted and set to
high brightness

On TX it’s a little high ( I think)

 

40m 5W  @ 14v Supply   Current =1.18Amps

40m 2W @ 14v Supply    Current = 760mA

 

Anyone checked their K1’s current on TX and want to comment?

 

All the best

Paul

M0BMN
