kpa 100 wont play

[George Cortez Jr]

Last night I did the first check of the com for the PA stage. I did not  
get any NO PA PS msg from the k2.
It seems like the U1 is not getting power but I have no idea how to check  
this.
Any ideas?

Thanks

George,

Since you suspect no power to U1, I suggest you look at the schematic to
identify the pins of U1 that are connected to the 5 volt supply line and
check for the presence of voltage with a DVM.

If you find no 5 volts where it should be, then check the regulator U3.  You
should have 12 volts on the IN lead and 5 volts on the OUT leg.  If you have
12 volts but no 5 volts, be certain U3 is oriented correctly.  If there is
not 12 volts on the IN leg, check for the presence of 12 volts at P1 pin 8 -
that voltage comes from the K2 over the ribbon cable.

73,
Don W3FPR
