[Elecraft] K2: No recieve/power out on 20M thru 10M

[Marc Glade]

SOLVED!!!

First I would like to thank everyone very much who responded both on
and off the list with help and suggestions, I'm not sure how long it
would have taken me to find the problem without your support.

The problem: It all did lead to one part, K2 in the BPF. K2 was in the
SET position and would not go to RESET under any condition. The
reason, pin 10 of K2 had become grounded during the installation of
the K60XV when you have to solder the ground braid of a length of
RG174 to L4. The trace from pin 10 of K2 runs right next to this
location, and right at this spot, the trace was exposed just a little
little bit, allowing a piece of solder to bridge the gap to the braid
on the RG174. In retrospect this seems like something I should have
easily seen on visual inspection, but because the exposer of the trace
was so small and masked by a tiny excess piece of the ground braid I
did not see the connection. 5 minutes at the soldering table fixed the
problem and rig immediately started functioning like normal again.

Let me just say thanks again to everyone, this was a great learning
experience for me. It allowed me to learn procedures I hadn't done
before and made me love my Elecraft K2 that much more. I can't wait to
get started on my next Elecraft project, though I'm not sure what it
is yet. :)
