change. I unplugged everythingmicrophone, key, & antenna. Then I

I recently purchased an Astron SS-30 power supply for use with my K2 &
internal battery and/or K2/100 configuration. I need to know if there is
a voltage adjustment inside the SS-30 so that I can adjust the output to
the recommended 14.0 V +/- 0.2 for the K2 (13.7 V +/- 0.2 internal
voltmeter)
Ck'd the voltages..
SS-30 output = 14.2 volts
K2 Internal Voltage = 13.7 volts
No adjustments necessary.

I'm concerned that my SSB output is not matching the set power level.
Reviewing the archive on a search by ALC, I found this note. It's been
years since I've looked to see what scopes are available. Any
recommendations - remembering that cost is a factor.maybe a Scope
that uses the PC.
I have recently purchased an SB1000 & am expecting an antenna tuner in
another week or so. My question relates to connecting the K2/100 to the
amplifier. There is a "keying connection" from J7 on the K2/100. I
assume this should work.

I assume that the new power amps will operate on 220 VAC. Perhaps even
120/220 VAC. I'm in the process of wiring my new shack. 220 volts in
order???
I remember that my old SB-200 worked on either voltage but preferred 220
volts.
