[Elecraft] Help-damaged front end?

[Tom Hammond]

Hi John:

Consider downloading my "Quick 'n Dirty Signal Tracing Suggestions" 
for the K2 from my web site at:  www.n0ss.net  It'll be found in the 
'Elecraft K2-Related Files' section.

With it, you can start out testing at the innermost part of the 
receiver RF section and progress outward (toward the antenna) until 
the signal stop... at which point you've isolated the section where 
it problem resides.

It may not be the BEST way to troubleshoot, but it's relatively easy 
and requires no special equipment to at least get a pretty good idea 
of where the problem might be.

Good luck,

Tom Hammond    N0SS
