Hi 

Well, I have a problem with my K2, but don't know if it is worth
trouble shooting.

In the first initial test the VFO works fine on all the bands.
All the relays click when checking them as per the manual.
When tapping the display button it changes to the volt meter, but
it doesn't read voltages. It always stays on all zeros when checking
the voltage on pin one of U1. Even tried to check the voltage of a
flashlight battery by running a lead from the ground loop on the
RF board to the negative end of the battery, and the lead from P1
to the positive end of the battery, got nothing. U1 pin one does
have 6 volts on it bacause I checked it with my DMM. 
Since the voltmeter doesn't work, that means the RF probe won't 
work either, I guess.
I checked the continuity of the lead from P1 by running a resistance
check from the bottom of the RF board to the end of the test lead.
Haven't checked the manual yet for trouble shooting it, but if 
anyone has any suggestions on where to start looking, I would 
appreciate it.
Thanks
