[Elecraft] K2 IF Alignment question

[hamblen9 at optonline.net]

Happy Turkey Day to all,

Symptom:  In aligning the IF Amp on K2 #5091, I am not hearing any signal
strength variation when adjusting L34 per the instructions on pg. 62.  The
weak signal near 7000 khz is relatively loud but moving the slug doesn't
result in any variation that I can hear.  I can peak signals with L1 and L2
for the 40m bandpass alignment.  And actual band signals seem the same
signal strength when compared to an ICom 746.  All resistance test readings
and all other alignment tests are within range.

Is there normally much signal variation when aligning the IF amp?  If so,
please point me in a direction for troubleshooting.

Thanks in advance,

Guy N7UN/2
