RE: - New K2 owner and Questions

Hi All

 

First let thank all the kind people that replied to my last post about the
Hi Cur warning and volume pot noise.

It really sorted me out,  

I have the QRP version and have the internal battery pack, well I spent a
while chatting on 20m last night to a friend and

Didn’t give a thought to the battery,  When I checked this morning with a
good shout the voltage was just over 11V and that’s when I get the HI Cur
warning, when I ran it from a nice 13.8 (well 14.4V in fact) supply it was
fine and I can reset the Hi Cur alarm to 3.5 Amps.

The Vol Pot Noise isn’t that bad, not really worth the effort to fix, if it
gets worse I will look at it but im not worrying about that yet, as the
serial number is in the 29xx range  it would be pre-new board layout so im
happy now I know there is a fix if I need to take it later.

Just been using Spectrogram to check the filters and adjust them to my
likings  , The K2 has had just about all the mods (except volume pot!) done,
so im a very happy camper.

Its got the K2-DI board fitted and that works very well on PSK and SSTV

Thanks Ray If your still taking the mail

All the best and I hope to work some other K2’s on the air soon!
