[Elecraft] K2 build: low sig strength on 40m

Go into the menu and look for R2.  You may accidentally have the R2 input
turned on,
and are just leaking a small amount of signal in through the main port.  If
R2 is
ON, set it to OFF.

Subject: [Elecraft] K2 build: low sig strength on 40m

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?
