[Elecraft] NG0R - K2 160m alignment problem.

[John Hoaglun]

I am having a problem with the 160m alignment.

When I power up the radio I do not get any error messages. If I test the
receive antenna via the menu I can hear the K2 relay open and close as
expected.

When I disable the ATU with the CALP/CALS setting and then try to engage the
radio via the Tune button @ the 2w level I am getting a "LO P" message.
 
--I am hearing signals on 80m and 160m. (160m sounds great on the K2.) 
--Using an analog DVM I see a blip on pin16 when I change bands which
suggests that relay K1 is working. 
--I can also hear relay K1 when I switch between the bands. 
--If I put my finger on the relay I can also feel the relay move. 
At this point I think that relays K1 and K2 work as expected.
 
--C75, C13, and C14 are installed on the RF board.
--C68 and C153 on the RF board are installed and the proper values.
--I used a solder pot when I prep'ed the toroids so I am confident that I
have a good connection.
80m worked well before I added the 160m module. Now I get "LO P" messages on
80 & 160m.
 
Any suggestions?
