[Elecraft] K1 Questions - Recent Build

[Don Wilhelm]

Bruce,

Your RIT situation is not normal.  There are 2 potential causes that I see
in the schematic.  First is that pin 40 of the microprocessor never goes
near 5 volts when RIT is turned off - check that first.  If you do find near
5 volts at pin 40, then the most likely problem is that Q2 has been zapped
and will not conduct (it should conduct from source to drain when RIT is
turned off).

73,
Don W3FPR
