Not to worry, Michael, that's probably the lowest it will go.
The thing still "bobbles" a bit but if you try to find the=20
trough of the adjustment, it will be fine.

That being said, I did use a scope to adjust that cap on my
K1, so it should work on the K2. You'll see the trace go up
and down quite easily. So if you have one, go ahead, but don't
buy one just to do this.=20

(Don't want to start a thread about an Elecraft LCD monitor
scope with general-purpose probe input, now do I?)

You'll love the KAT2!
