[Elecraft] K2: KAT 100 question

[Jferg977 at aol.com]

There have been a series of repairs to my KPA100 and the KAT100. I have  
realigned the KAT100 as per the manual.  It brings the SWR down to 1:1 on  40 and 
20 meters and 1.2:1 on 80.  But on 17 meters, I'm getting 2.3:1  where I used 
to get more like 1.1:1.  Do I need to redo the alignment or is  there a chance 
that in one of the recent EDS events, a part other than the  1N5711's has 
been invisibly fried?  The antenna system is a simple 23 foot  shakespeare whip 
with an additional 8 feet of lead-in.  Grounding is the  saltwater harbor I'm 
in.
 
I'm assuming that the SWR issue, whatever it might be is either antenna or  
tuner and not a result of some issue in the K2 itself.
 
I've looked at all the connections and they seem sound.  Ideas?
