Hi gang, I bought and built the K2 with the idea that I'd not only have a pretty decent rig, but that I'd also learn something along the way.
With that goal in mind, and realizing that I certainly have a lot to learn, I'll respectfully ask the members of this list, what probably is a pretty basic question: I've also built the XG1 signal generator and would like to trace the signal through my K2. I've read through the Troubleshooting section of the K2 Manual (Revision B) and it explains how to build a signal generator. Of course having the XG1, I didn't build the one in manual. However, the signal generator shown in the manual seems to have a variable output. For example, step 5 in the low pass filter section (page 11 of the troubleshooting section) says to adjust the signal generator to 0.14 Vrms and then check various pins to see if the voltages are at certain levels as described in the manual. The XG1 is not variable in its output, so would the voltages be more or less in the same proportion to those in the manuals which started with a signal of 0.14 Vrms? (I'll be honest I didn't check the XG1 to see what the Vrms output is on it.) Or is there a better approach I should be taking to this whole thing? As I said earlier, the K2 is working fine, I just would like to poke around and see if I can wind up learning something when I'm done. Thanks for any help or ideas you might have to offer.
