Hi Bill

--Everything sounded great on 80, 40, 20, and 15 meters, but on 10
--meters, yuk.

--... there was a very bad frequency drift on key
--down that never seemed to stop.

Take a look at the Table 6-1 VCO Voltage Readings for your K2.  It may
be that you are close to the voltage limit.  I think that the VFO has to
shift by the BFO offset frequency on key down.  It must do this very
quickly so that there is no chirp.  If the VFO is barely hanging in there,
if may do some strange things.
