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
