[Elecraft] K2-100 Alignment & Installation problems

Page 46 of the manual where I turn on the K2, I DO NOT see NO PA PS as
called for in the manual.

 

When I tap display my voltage has dropped to 11.3 volts.  Measured at the
source it is still 13.5.

 

Measuring the voltage at Junction of C77 & R11 I get 74.1 volts which is not
in the range specified.

At J3+ lead I get -0.004 volts.

 

Page 47 adjusting C27 to move the 4Mhz oscillator frequency has no effect on
the oscillator.

 

When I place the K2 in Tune, the display only shows power and does not show
the SWR.

C1 has no effect on SWR.

 

Page 48 after connecting high current power supply the voltage readout at
Display is still 11.5 volts and voltage measured at source is 13.85.

 

I looked at the troubleshooting instructions and found nothing that would
help me with this "low voltage display" problem nor the low voltage at C77 &
R11.

 

Does anyone have any ideas???
