[Elecraft] K2 problems

[Stan Rife]

	What were your results when completeing each stage of the build?
Were the alignment requirements met at each one of those stages? If they
were, then you should at least have a good receive on each band. I don't
know what would have changed so drastically that you now have no receive at
all...not to mention the transmitter.

	I would probably start at the beginning and do each stage of the
realignment again, and if you come to an alignment step that does not meet
expectations, start your trouble shooting at that point.
