[Elecraft] K1- no receive on 30 meters

[Don Wilhelm]

Terry,

Set both the 30 meter and 40 meter trimmers to the center position first.
Then move the 30 meter trimmers around near that center position until 
you have a response on 30 meters.  You may have to use another 
transmitter running into a dummy load or a signal generator to produce 
enough signal to get through the 'not yet tuned' bandpass filters.
After setting all 4 30 meter trimmers for the best peak in signal - 
gradually reduce the signal level as you get closer to the correct 
setting fo best identification of the peak.
After aligning 30 meters, then do the same for 40 meters.

Note: aligning the 30 meter bandpass filters will have no effect of 40 
meters (also aligning 15 meters will have no effect of 20 meters), but 
if you attempt to align 40 or 20 meters first, you will have to do it 
over again in the correct order.
