[Elecraft] K2 RX not working OK

Thu Aug 15 17:37:00 2002

Many TNX to N0SS, K4ZM, AA2BN, DL8BAG and PE1MHO for their responses.

It's working OK now. Error was:

1. T6 not installed correctly.
2. D3 installed in wrong direction.

Now sensitivity easily matches my TS870. First results quite impressive...

Good thing is, by trouble shooting these issues I always learn something.
Bad thing is, it makes me stay up late!

For tonight I will follow AA2BN's suggestion and enjoy a good beer.--))
