Since the completion of my antenna tuner for my K2, I've found that my K2 
did not always recognize that the KAT2 was installed.  After eliminating 
some probable causes.....checking for skipped or cold solder joints, 
missing parts, wrong parts installed, etc., Gary sent me replacement parts 
for U1 & Z1...the microcontroller & ceramic resonator.

I replaced U1 first & turned on the K2 and it did not recognize the 
antenna tuner.  Then I snipped the leads on Z1 & replaced it.  Power up & 
walla.....it's been working fine ever since.  Now to reconnect the coax to 
the window screen....hi, hi.

Hats off to Gary Surrency & the fine staff at Elecraft for development of 
a fine rig & accessories & for providing SUPER SUPPORT!!!
