[Elecraft] K2: Receiver slow to return from xmit

	I notice there is a 3.9K "pulldown" on the gate of Q3 and not one on the
gate of Q4. Has anyone had to add a 3.9K or so  here to get the rx to come
back more quickly. If I continued sending (CW) the rx would come back and
then disappear again. If I just let up on the key, the rx would "drift"
back, like I was adjusting the rf gain control. The S Meter bar display
would "drift" from far right to around S5 where the rx was normal.
	This is exasperating, working an EA5 QRP on an inverted Vee and the rx
starts acting up.

Help somebody!
