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!
