[Elecraft] Wrong freq. output, K1

While I am waiting for my XG2 to arrive I would like to discuss the 
problem that I am experiencing. On 20M my K1 is outputting on 20.17 mhz 
with gravelly tone, the is VCO set at14.00 mhz. All other bands are on 
frequency  (+- a couple of K) with pure tone. Also with a 100' wire 
antenna, I am receiving CW just fine on 15M, 30M and 40M. On 20M just 
hiss with an occasional birdy. Output on all bands including 20M is 5W.

All voltage and resistance checks are good. I have checked my soldering 
and even re-soldered X2 with no help. The only other components 
exclusive to 20M is C3, C4, CC, and CD which all adjust OK during the 
band alignments. I am suspicious that X2 is off frequency but I want to 
go through the receiver and VFO signal tracing (come on XG2!) and 
transmitter tracing before I start replacing anything.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
