[Elecraft] K2 alignment confusion...

Hi

To help any more we need some measurements in the transmitter. Did you build 
the RF probe and go through the troubleshooting section of the manual? What 
test equipment do you have. A scope would be nice but the RF 
probe/multimeter should be good enough to find the problem. Basically you 
start at the transmit mixer and check each stage following looking for a 
loss of signal. 70-80% of the time the problem is a toroid wound wrong or a 
toroid lead not tined properly and not making a good connection to its 
solder pad.

I will be away from my computer for a week so I can not give you any more 
help but if you make the measurements in the manual someone on the reflector 
should be able to help you out.

Thank you Don.

I got the peak at the earlier receiver stage.

I have also gone back over the solder joints and all the relays three
times since last night with nothing spotted.  I'll comb through the
toroid connex again...

Adjusting the power with the front panel "power" control while in Tune
makes no difference...and neither does moving L1 or L2.
