[Elecraft] K1 problem

[Randy Moore]

 I finished my K1 about a month or so ago and its been a joy to learn to use
it.  The last QSO was in the Fox Hunt Thursday night on 20m.  I bagged one,
but couldn't hear the other Fox.  I turned the rig on this morning for the
first time since then and 20m sounded very quiet.  I could only hear a
handful of signals and all of those, as well as the noise level, were way
down.  All the other bands sounded normal.  I tried the KAT2 to see if I
just had a bad match to the antenna.  I immediately noticed that the power
output during the tuning process showed 0.1w.  I connected to a dummy load
and checked the power output and sure enough it's 0.1 w no matter what I set
the power level to.  All the other bands (40m, 30m, and 15m) work fine.

Do these clues point to a place to start looking?  I suspect I'll find a bad
solder joint somewhere.  Should have know this might happen.  I have K2 #337
and have never had the slightest problem with it since I got it going.
