[Elecraft] K2 Frequency Counter Sensitivity

[lizlarry at triad.rr.com]

Hello all,

Don Brown is right.  I had the same problem, and it turned out Q9 was extremely weak - even though the E B C voltages measured fine.  The Scott at Elecraft said to use a 2N2222 in its place 'til the replacement parts arrived.  I did and it worked like a champ.

The guys at Elecraft are great.  The K2 kit is a biggun to tackle, so it's quite a comfort to know you won't be left with your buns in the breeze if you encounter trouble...
