[Elecraft] Inoperable S-Meter

I've finished my K2, and everything seems to work just fine except the
S-Meter. I don't think the AGC is working either. My analog skills are
somewhat limited, so I'm hoping that someone might advise me.  I've copied
elecraft support too, but if someone out there has suggestions, I'd
appreciate the help.  I have a scope and can take measurements.
 
I've verified that the X1 crystal is working.  Voltages on U1 look good.
Voltages on U2 look low by about 2v.  I think I have a signal to D1. 
 
Voltages are as follows
 
   U2-1     4.1v 
    U2-2     4.1v 
    U2-3     4.1v 
    U2-4     0v 
    U2-6     3.9v 
    U2-7     3.9v 
    U2-8     9.0v 
    Q12-E    8.9v
    Q12-B    3.8v
    Q12-C    4.0v
 
Thanks in advance
