[Elecraft] k1 testing & alignment

[E Neubauer]

I am at the Alignment and Test - Part I portion of constructing the K1.  All of the tests went GREAT up to the part about Band-Pass Filter Alignment (page 40).  With the antenna connected, I hear only white noise through the headphones.  Adjustment of the slug-tuned inductors does nothing. Connecting and disconnecting my antenna wire doesn't even make a crackle.  I ran the checks in the back of the manual with my RF probe under "Receiver and VFO Signal Tracing" (appendix E pages 5-6).  My input voltage with the battery pack was about 11.5 volts.  Here were the results for the numbered tests under that section:
step 5: .02 V - OKstep 6: .222 V - OKstep 7: .025 V - a bit lowstep 8: 0 volts - fail.
All steps after #8 that failed, as well.
I suppose there is something wrong in the premix band-pass filter, but am not sure where to go from there to narrow the problem.  Again, any help is appreciated.
