Tests right after first powerup

Alexandra Carter
My K2 powered up like a champ, had the messages and start up freq
exactly as mentioned in the manual, and the relays click in the band
change tests, but I'm puzzled, the manual says the relays should also
click when tapping the PRE/ATT button and they don't on my K2. What am
I doing wrong? 73 de Alex NS6Y.

PS - the RF probe is a pain in the butt to make, can I just use my
'scope?

Re: Tests right after first powerup

Sure thing, Alex!

The attenuator switches in and out with a latching relay and the preamp too,
so it's cycling one click > one click > two clicks almost simultaniously. Is
there any effect noticeable while pressing the button?

73,
Peter
