K2 assembly -- finished RF stage 2, went through tests and aligns. With a
40m dipole attached, sensitivity seems awfully low. I can barely hear
anything even after peaking the slug tuned coils. With L34, I may have
turned too far -- I didn't feel much resistance when the slug bottomed
out. How likely is it that if I turned too far I've actually broken
something inside? Would this correspond to low signal strengths on 40
meter receive?
