[Elecraft] PRE/ATT intermittent fault

[DaveVK]

After how many years?  I finally fixed the intermittent sensitivity issue I
had with my K2.  The problem was not a latching relay but a cap on the
bottom of the main board.  The legs of this cap protrude under the NB
option.  I noticed that one of the legs had not been soldered through the
hole properly.  

I was too busy and hurried to fix that I did not note the part number... but
anyway... this may help somebody else in the future.

Kind regards all...
