[Elecraft] 160 meter option board trouble

That is a misdirection in the manual....VFO linearization is only done on 40
meters.

I got the 160 meter/2nd antenna board for Christmas and have just installed
it in my K2.  While beginning the alignment, I did just as the instructions
said and set the VFO for 1800.10 khz and connected the frequency counter
probe to the correct test point.  Upon initiation of the VFO linearization,
the unit immediately switched to 40 meters and gave me message 232.  I see
from the main manual appendix E that 232 indicates that 40 meters is not
selected, but I had the unit set to 160 meters as the instructions said?  Is
anyone familiar with this error?
Also the re installation of the heatsink appears to be very touchy.  I had
to remove the heatsink to install an edge connector and when reinstalling
the cover noticed that I didn't have a collector to ground short. I put the
bottom cover back in place and just tightening the 6 cover screws created a
short.  Loosening and retightening the PA transistor screws fixed it, but it
sure appears touchy.

Thanks.
