[Elecraft] K2 #5061 finally complete.

[Don Wilhelm]

Pat,

So glad to hear that your problem is resolved.  Bad capacitors do not happen
very often, but as Murphy says "If it can't happen, it will".
Good luck with getting the rest of it together by Field Day - I wish you a
fun time.

I just wanted to send a note to Don and Gary and others who offered
suggestions in the repair of my new K2.  I had a 20/30 bandpass filter
that was down about 70 dB from the others.  Well, it turns out that C25
was open!  I had Parts send me all the caps in that BP section including
the trimmers.  They finally arrived today (they had to send them twice
because the first shipment was lost in the U.S. Mule.) and I finished the
receiver and transmitter calibration with no problems.  I certainly
appreciate the help that everyone gave me.  Now I will attach the speaker
and wires and put it all together and enjoy using it while I build up the
noise blanker, ADSP, ATU, 160 meter option, SSB module and battery
option.  Then I can install them one at a time and have it all complete
in time for field day!  Man, what a receiver! I am most impressed.

73,

Pat Haynes-K4BEH
