[Elecraft] rit on K2

[David A. Belsley]

Ray, no this is not normal.  Something's wrong.  Check components and 
soldering around R14, D6, R5, and U3, particularly pin 16.  There's not a 
heck of a lot else, I think, that's involved.  Check the action of R5.  Use 
your DMM to be sure its resistance changes smoothly and stably.  Otherwise, 
there may be something wrong with U3.

best wishes,
