At Hamcom in Dallas I purchased K2 #2720.  It was the smoothest kit I
have ever built and the engineering involved is just plain amazing.  The
K2 passed all test and was on the air in about 3 weeks with absolutely
no problems or errors on my part which is a testament to the instruction
manual.

I have since installed the noise blanker, AF Filter and SSB option and
all work as expected.

The last option I installed was the 160 board.  The simplest and least
parts count of any of the options.  Well this one got me.  There is no
receive and trying to transmit with 2 Watts only gives High Current
warning.  It will switch to the receive antenna and it works on all
bands except 160.  I have been back over each step many times and I hope
someone can give me a suggestion.  Could it be relay K1 is defective??

Thanks for any help.
