[Elecraft] My problem with K2

[Don Wilhelm]

Vincenzo,

Do you have the 'rework eliminators' installed?  If so, you changed C71 
to 120 pF, and you must also change the secondary menu entry for D19 to 
"Y".  If you do not have the rework eliminators and you have not 
attempted to put in the capacitor change for C71 associated with the 
K60XV option, then check the value of C71 - it should be 82 pF.

What frequency was indicated in the K2 display when you measured the VFO 
frequency at 7834 kHz?

73,
Don W3FPR
