[Elecraft] K2 SSB

[Rich McCabe]

Well I dont know :)

The manual they sent says revision D and January 2004.

This manual shows installing CB and CN and the last one on their site says 
leave it out. It also calls CG/CH a 47 pf capacitor. According to the new 
update sheet, only the original 2.1 SSB used a 47 pf cap in CG/CH.

So I am confused. This would mean I have -s crystals and old caps !

I installed the parts and I obviouslly have something wrong. The OP1 filter 
is severally attenuationed. It works, but is several DB down from what it 
should me.

Thanks for the response guys. Back to checking things over.

73,

Rich
