[Elecraft] [K2] Control board U4 8v regulator issue>Solved problem

[Mike-WE0H]

Oh mine was working excellent last night for it's first time listening 
on the air 40m. Heard South Africa and some South Pacific islands on 40m 
after I peaked the 40m bandpass filter. The only issue I had was that 
regulator & that was a piece of cake to troubleshoot & repair. So far I 
am totally impressed with this kit & it's design, well worth the money 
spent.
