[Elecraft] KSB2 INSTALL - RX LOST

[Joe Planisky]

Have you checked the obvious things? I feel qualified offering the  
following suggestions as I've made all of these mistakes myself :-)

- Make sure the antenna is plugged into the right connector.  If your  
KAT2 is connected, use one of the "Antenna Tuner" connectors on the  
back side of the top panel.  If the KAT2 is NOT connected, use the  
Antenna connector on the back of the bottom cover next to the power  
connector.

- Make sure the KAT2 RF cable (J7) is connected to P6 on the RF  
board.  (I don't know if it's changed, but it used to be that the RF  
connector (P6) and the battery connector (P3) were the same.  There  
are warnings in the manual about getting them mixed up.)

- Make sure the KAT2 control cable (J8) is plugged into P4 on the  
Control Board correctly. The green wire should be at the top.
