[Elecraft] K2: Very low output on 160m

[Don Wilhelm]

Ken,

Yes, that is bad - you have no output on 160 meters.  How about 
receive?  If it receives on 160 but not transmit, that narrows the 
search area down considerably.

Check the frequency at TP1 with the internal probe and CAL FCTR after 
you have tuned the K2 to 1800 kHz.  If you find a frequency very far 
away from 6715 kHz, the problem is with the VCO, and most likely the VFO 
Range Select section - C75 must be selected and of a proper value (470 
pf) to tune 160 meters.

73,
