[Elecraft] K2 suddenly stops RX while on 160

[Jukka Tarvainen]

Hi!

I got suggestion from Rick, KC0OV, to check VCO control voltages.

1800 kHz 3,5 V
1960 kHz 7,5 V
1970- kHz 8 V

Other bands are well inside 1,5-7,5 V.

I search archives and found case where it has been below 1,5 V and that was
cured with additional capacitance in C75. I test with some other big size
capacitors around 450 pF and found that VCO voltage can be lowered. I need
to buy several small caps to make suitable replacement for original 470 pF.

We will see if this helps.
