 Look closely at T5’s leads where they exit the holes on the bottom side. The leads must have no enamel residue, and should be

tinned so that they appear clean and shiny. If not, remove T5 and prepare the leads as described earlier.

 Place the paper washer over T5 as shown in Figure 5. Push downward gently on T5’s leads until the washer lays flat.

 Solder and trim T5’s leads.



Connect a power supply to the K2 and turn it on.

 Use B A N D + or B A N D - to select the 80-meter band, and set the VFO for a frequency of about 4000.10 kHz.

 Connect the frequency counter probe to the VCO test point, TP1. Activate the counter using C A L FC T R in the menu.



You should now see a frequency counter reading in the 8 to 10 MHz range. It may or may not be stable at this time (i.e., the

frequency may be changing). If the reading is 0000 kHz or is changing rapidly, you probably don’t have the counter cable

connected to the VCO test point, or T5 may not be properly wound or soldered.



Tap M E N U to exit C A L FC T R .



Disconnect the internal frequency counter probe and remove it completely from the K2.

 Connect a DMM (digital multimeter) to the left end of resistor R30 (near the center of the synthesizer area of the RF board) and

ground. Use a small alligator clip to ensure a good connection. Select the DMM’s 20 or 30-volt DC voltage scale.

 On each band, set the VFO to the low/high frequencies listed the in table below, and record (in pencil) the DC voltages at R30.

Band Low Freq. Voltage High Freq. Voltage

160 m 1800 ______ 2000 ______ (If K160RX option is installed)

80 m 3500 ______ 4000 ______

60 m 5300 ______ 5450 ______ (If K60XV option is installed)

40 m 7000 ______ 7300 ______

30 m 10000 ______ 10150 ______

20 m 14000 ______ 15000 ______

17 m 18000 ______ 18200 ______

15 m 21000 ______ 21450 ______

12 m 24800 ______ 25000 ______

10 m 28000 ______ 28800 ______

 If some VCO control voltage readings above are less than 1.0 V, or some of them are greater than 7.5 V, you’ll need to shift the

entire set of readings so that they are all within this range. First, switch to the band (and frequency) that had the highest or

lowest voltage. Next, squeeze or spread the turns on T5’s 1-2 winding slightly to bring that reading into range. (Squeezing the

turns closer together increases the inductance; spreading them out decreases the inductance.) Finally, re-measure all of the

voltages to make sure they're in range. Note: In rare cases, you may have to re-wind T5, adding or removing one turn. If you

cannot spread the turns far enough apart, remove one turn. If you cannot squeeze the turns together tightly enough, add one turn.

 Disconnect the DMM from R30.

 Turn the K2 off and disconnect the power supply.
