[Elecraft] KIO2 troubleshooting

Sorry to interrupt anybody's field day plans!

I just built the KIO2, but couldn't establish a connection with 
Hyperterminal and K2Remote software.

So, I went to the DC Voltage chart, and found the following differences (I 
used a 13.8 V power supply).  (The values with *'s by them in the manual 
were pretty close)

J1-2:  -11V, not -8
J1-3:  0V, not 0.1
J1-4:  0V, not 4.5
U1-2:  0V, not 0.1
U1-5:  -11.2V, not -8
U1-8:  -11.2V, not -9
U1-13:  4.96V, not 4.5
U1-15:  4.96V, not 4.5
J2-7:  0V, not 4.5

I went to the control board, U6-25 is 5V (someone else on the mailing list 
had 0 here for a similar problem as mine).  P4-7 on the control board is 
also 0V.

Any ideas?  Everything up to now has been working fine.  Last thing I added 
on was RX160 which I haven't used.  Before that, KAT2, which worked fine 
(haven't tried it since building KIO2).  I haven't noticed any soldering 
problems or anything like that.

Thanks.
