The best  place to start is to determine what does work.  Do you have
voltages  anywhere (check input and output of the regulators on the  control
board)?  Are the voltage readings good (compare with the chart  in the back
of the K2 manual).  If the menu works, enter CAL FCTR and  use the counter
probe to see if you have VFO and BFO oscillators  running?  Is their
frequency correct?  Continue with this process  until you can narrow the
field of potential places to look for the  failure.



Hi Ian,
 
I would echo what Don has to say plus if you are having to get down to  
serious signal tracing it may be better to get down to the basic K2, remove the  
KSB2 and fit C167 (0.001uf) on tails to J11 pins 7 to 12, shorting links on  
J9/J10 pins 1 to 3. The KSB2 RFC1/2 can stop things working if they short to the  
xtal cans.
