Initial Test

If any test or alignment step fails, refer to this manual's Troubleshooting section (page 21).

Note:

Some instructions in this section apply only to K1s that are fully assembled.

Turn off the K1 and remove the top cover (four screws, or two thumbscrews if the KBT1 is installed).

If the KBT1 internal battery option is installed, turn its power switch OFF and remove the batteries

from their holder. It may be helpful during later steps to leave the holder itself outside the case.

If the KAT1 antenna tuner is installed, remove its two screws and unplug it from the Filter board.

If a 2-band Filter board is presently installed, remove the screws holding it in place and unplug it.

Locate C57 on the K1 RF board (near U9, back-left corner). Fold C57 down towards U9 at about a 45-

degree angle. This will prevent C57 from interfering with C39 on the bottom of the KFL1-4 board.

Plug in the 4-band Filter board (KFL1-4). The connectors on the Filter board must be fully inserted

into J6, J7, and J8 on the RF board. Also make sure the jumper from J2-2 to J2-10 is installed.

Turn the K1 on. You may hear one or more relays switching. If your K1 is not yet completed, the LCD

may show

E 4 2

, indicating that the self-test found the VFO signal missing.

Tap the

B AN D

switch

twice

(quickly) to change the band. If you don't hear any relays switching, refer

to Troubleshooting in this manual, as well as the K1 owner's manual troubleshooting section (Appendix E).

Since this is a four-band module, you can continue to tap quickly to switch to each remaining band.

The frequencies of the four bands may not be set correctly. They will be assigned in the next section.

The Filter board controls the attenuator relay as well as the band-selection relays. To test the

attenuator relay (and yellow LED), hold

A T T N

. Hold

A T T N

again to turn the attenuator off.

Band Assignments for 4-Band Module

To see the correct display when you tap

B A N D

, you'll need to specify which bands are covered by your

Filter board.

Follow the

Band Assignments

instructions on the left side of page 39 of the owner's manual to make

sure you know how to use the

B 1

B 2

… menu entry. Note that these instructions assume a 2-band module.

Using the technique described, assign all four bands as follows:

B 1

7 . 0

B 2

1 0 . 0

1 0 . 1

(use selection indicated in table on page 6 of this manual)

B 3 1 4 . 0

B 4

1 8 . 0

2 1 . 0

(use selection indicated in table on page 7)

After exiting the menu, re-check the frequencies on each band as indicated in the final step under

Band Assignments on page 39. Tap

B AN D

twice, quickly, to switch to subsequent bands.
