[Elecraft] [K2] No Transmit Power

I have built the RF probe but I am unable to get any signal less than about 
200 mV even when not touching anything.  I have tried three DMMMs with no 
better luck.   I do know that I am transmitting something because I can pick 
up the transceiver signal easily on any of my HF receivers.  I have been 
able to establish that pin 2 of U8 on the Control Board reads 5.0 volts key 
down and that means (according to page 14) that I should check the 
components around the RF detector...and I will as soon as I can find a way 
sense RF.  Maybe I will switch to the scope tomorrow and try that.  Any 
other ideas will be welcome.

BTW, I have checked the RF detector again and again.  It's a pretty simple 
circuit and the diode is oriented correctly.
