Stan,

You may be experiencing some component 'aging', but there is no known
problem here.  I have had my K2 SN 00020 set up for at least 2 years now
with no apparent change of S-meter response.

I guess it is possible that your trimmer for the AGC Threshold voltage
adjustment may have been bumped if you have had the cover off several times,
but other than that, I can't think of any reason the response should change.

73,
Don W3FPR
