[Elecraft] K2 #2225 Back Up and Running

[Roy Morris]

In my last posting I got Don's call incorrect.  I meant to say W3FPR.  Thanks Don for the help in getting me started by looking at the three circuits using CAL FCTR.  I was able to isolate the problem with the frequency counter to the VFO area.   Retinning the T5 leads fixed the VFO circuit and my K2 came back to life.   Poorly tinned toroid leads (PTTL) can cause headaches.  It had been up and running for a couple of years with a bad solder joint.  If you don't solder it right the first time it may work for now but you may be creating a future problem.  That's what happened to me.  Thanks again, Don.   Roy Morris  W4WFB
