The usual problem here is using a little too much solder when installing
Q22. As the solder flows through the hole, it can short the lead to the
transistor can on the transistor side of the board. It is impossible to
detect visually and very easy to do since the clearances are small. When
installing Q22, use a minimum of solder and do it quickly. I had that
problem when I first built my K2. It is easy to fix....just desolder the
transistor, clean up any excess solder, and try again!
