[Elecraft] Two problems fixed

[n5ib@juno.com]

My K2 (#1233) had two little nagging problems. 
1. Occasional Hi-Current warnings on 80 meters
2. I had done the sidetone sinewave mod a few months ago and it didn't
really help much.

Well, upon Wayne's suggestion I set out to do the "more accurate current
metering" mod and proudly had a 0.1 uF monolithic cap in hand ready to
replace C42. But, upon arriving at C42, I found one end of it lifted, and
a 47 K resistor soldered in series with it.

You guessed it, the sidetone mode called for adding a 47 K in series with
C24. So, with one stroke of the soldering iron I had managed to degrade
the bypassing at the current sensing circuit AND leave the wrong RC time
constant in the sidetone circuit. Now that's efficiency!

Needless to say, both have now been corrected and both mods work fine.
Thanks for the tip Wayne, and I grant you full credit and honor for
fixing the other problem as well   :^))
