[Elecraft] K2 deaf

[Don Wilhelm]

Cary,

I don't have any really good ideas about what may be wrong (other than to
simply say "its broke" <G>), but I suggest that you turn the manual to
Appendix E and follow the steps outlined in the Receiver Signal Tracing
section.

As another alternative, you can try the "Cheap and Dirty Signal Tracing"
that Tom Hammond has advocated - the document is on the Elecraft website
under Builder Resources - then look at Troubleshooting Tips.

Once you localize the area of failure, we can help further in isolating it
to the failing component.

73,
