K-2 #5266 is coming along nicely, everything checks out in alignment until the "40-meter Band Pass Filter Alignment" on page 64....it's deaf on 20-40-80 meters (but the 3Y0X pileup on 30 meters is LOUD)

*	RF Gain is at max
*	 have 3.90 volts on U2, pin 5
*	 by-pass jumpers are installed at the proper places
*	AF gain is all the way up
*	plenty of audio on all the alignments (until now on 40 meters) 
*	 30 meters signals REALLY STRONG (see above)
*	no apparent cold solder joints or unsoldered points

I read the postings today about a K-2 being deaf on 40 (OE6?) and even checked X6 (which fixed  his problem) but to no avail....

Advice, suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks & 73,

"H" Cary,  K4TM
