[Elecraft] C13, C14 Values RF board K2?

[Rich Lentz]

The Correct values are 1200 pf.  Do you have the manual? Have you downloaded
the PDF file from Elecraft?  If not you should and probably start by
following the instructions for "160 Alignment" on page 9.

I'm experiencing low (7-8 watts) output on 160M on my used K2.  All other
bands run 12-18W.  In manually inspecting each component for proper value I
notice that the caps for C13 and C14 in my unit are labeled .001M.   Now
that would be 1,000pf. +/-20%, as low as 800pf or as high as 1200pf (if 20%
error..maybe they are 10%?).   Are these the original caps or am I once
again facing part substitution by the previous 160M option builder?
