[Elecraft] Help with KAT1

[Doug Person]

Of all the kits to have trouble with...  The KAT1 is pretty simple but =
it's got me stumped.  On page 9, I go through the steps to calibrate the =
SWR bridge but the voltage at TP1 varies only slightly between 1.6 and 2 =
volts.  Power out under any circumstances with the Kat1 installed is 0.  =
Can receive only faint signals.  With KAT1 out, the K1/4 works =
perfectly.  If I clip a test lead to the center pin of the antenna coax =
and then touch P2 pins 9-10 signal levels come way up.  If I touch K4 =
pin 3 signals come way up.  Same for K1-K3.  I've examined ever part =
with a magnifying glass looking for trouble. Everything looks perfect.  =
I pulled out T1, carefully rewound it with fresh wire and reinstalled - =
no change.  I know I'm missing something pretty basic.  I just don't =
know what.  Appreciate any assistance very much.
