[Elecraft] My problem: I forgot to remove C-167

[Web Williams]

Thanks to those who responded to my question when I 
got "carrier" on keyup in SSB mode. I had neglected to 
remove C-167! I removed it, set the carrier balance, 
and immediately made my first contact on 14.300, 
the Maritime Mobile Service Net at 5 watts.

One problem remains, and that is the dial readout 
is .06 MHz high. In other words, I had to dial up to 
14.300.06 to be on 14.300.00. I will look in the 
troubleshooting guide when I get home from work 
today to see if it addresses this issue. Everything 
else is _perfect_!

I found an unbuilt KPA-100 module for a reasonable 
price, and will be adding that soon. What a radio!
