[Elecraft] K2 AGC problem

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Hi, Torsten:

Dig out the troubleshooting data in the back of the K2 manual and make
sure that the crystal oscillator in the AGC I-F system is working. My K2
had a bad xtal, so no signal going down the i-f strip for the agc. The
result was something much like you are experiencing. 

There are a couple of suggestions in the troubleshooting for things to
check and even a resistor to add that might get the oscillator started
if it's not working. Once you confirm that, there are a number of
voltage checks in the chart.

I'm having a problem with my K2's (#3134) AGC. I've got everything built

up through the 40m rx tests. 

The problem is that the AGC is very weak. ...I have set the AGC voltage
to spec and calibrated the S-meter, but somehow don't get enough AGC
action.

Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot? Torsten N4OGW
