Worked on the K1 duo yesterday. K1 #1151 acted up during QRPTTF. Behaved
as though a strong signal had the AGC reducing gain to the minimum.
Couldn't get it to do it again here in the shack. Still not sure what
that was.
On trusty old K1 #146, I replaced all the trimmers, and installed the
upgrades. That is, except for the tone switch. Afraid I broke a pin on
the little slide switch, trying to bend the pins as instructed. I did get
the one for R36 in OK, though.
After tune up with new trimmers...What a difference! Much better output
on all bands, and much less critical tuning. Definetely worth the trouble
of replacing all those trimmers!
