[Elecraft] S meter

[JC Quinn]

I just completed K2 #05671--No I haven't been working on it for 14 months, I 
bought the kit unopened from a friend who never got up to urge to build it.
The only problem I have is  No S meter. The receiver seems to work normally, 
sensitivity is equal to my other K2.  AGC seems to work normally, AGC 
threshold is set at 3.8 Volts.  CAL S LO works fine, but CAL S HI does not.
With the RF gain fully ccw the S meter will not light at all.  I have tried 
it with the meter set in both DOT and BAR.  Now get this, at the end of PART 
II Alignment, CAL S HI did work.  Something messed it up during final 
construction.  FWIW the Bar Display DOES work in transmit showing RF/ALC so 
its not burned out and the first segment comes on in CAL S LO.  Any 
suggestions as to where to look next?  Does anybody know if Elecraft is 
working on Dec 31?
