[Elecraft] K2 S/N 4023

[Rich Haendel]

Hooray, the K2 is finished !!  Last problem was the 8R line wasn't going =
to zero when on transmit. It only dropped to about 6 volts DC.  Cause =
was a leaky 2N7000 on the control board.  Replaced it and all other =
problems went away.  Internal autotuner is AWESOME !!   Receiver is HOT =
HOT HOT ! Had my first QSO on 20 meters SSB.  Transmit signal strength =
at the receiving end compared to my Yaesu 757 GT (100 watts) is about 2 =
S units lower BUT even though the signal was lower, the audio was very =
readable.   Congrats to Wayne and Eric. =20

Off to New Zealand with my K2
