[Elecraft] S-meter read S9 with no signal

[Ignacy]

I built my K2 yesterday. It worked right away but the minimum S-meter reading
is S9, even with no antenna. With signals it easily goes to +60.

The SMTR settings are default. I tried fiddling with them but it seems the
problem is elsewhere.

RF gain action is awkward. When decreased all the way the S-meter goes to
+40 but not S60.

The radio seems more noisy than Mark V Field. Still, one can hear an
increase in noise when the preamp is turned on. 

Have I messed up something in installation?
