[Elecraft] K1 problems and questions!

[Joe Malloy]

Ok, guys, I return with further info on my plight.  First, a shame-faced
confession: I royally screwed up the pinout of U1 on the KFL1-4, so
naturally the resistances didn't check out.  When I finally got the board
and the pins properly identified, all was normal and fine.

The problem, methinks, is indeed the capacitors on the rf board -- when
rotated some, they work to a certain extent then -- poof! -- they quit.
I've contacted Elecraft, ordered the replacements and am anxiously awaiting
them.  Let's see: I ordered them yesterday, received email confirmation of
my order about three hours later (what *took* them so long! :) and they
weren't here today.  Ok, maybe that's unrealistic.  I check the mail
tomorrow.  (I'm only kidding, of course, I can't expect Elecraft HQ to
improve the USPS!).  I'll report on the replacements probably next week or
so.

Thank you *all* for your suggestions -- whether right on the money or not,
they were all welcome and proof positive that this list is one of the great
features of buying an Elecraft rig.  Muchas gracias!  Grazie!  Vielen Dank!
