[Elecraft] 40m low sig: is C4 supposed to short to L1 case?

Andrew:

Schematic "K2 RF Board" Sheet 3 of 4, Upper Left hand corner shows one =
side
of BOTH C4 and L1 as common and connected to ground (The case of L1 is =
also
grounded).  That would explain the very weak (attenuated) signal at this
point.

I would recheck all diodes in the TR switch (Center of this same =
drawing)
and make sure they are installed properly.
(You didn't forget to install the W1 AD W6 jumpers (or they might be =
zero
ohm resistors) did you?)

 The pin on the attenuated side=20
is shorted to one of the mounting pins of slug-tuned coil L1 -- i.e. the =

case.  On the bottom of the board these two pads (C4 and L1) are =
extremely=20
close together but I cannot tell if they're supposed to be common.  Yes, =
no?
