[Elecraft] It's ALIVE!!! ...And a quick alignment question...

[David Dietrich]

Hi All!

IT'S ALIVE!!!  K2 #7164 is finally up and running as of last night!  The SMT diode on the bottom of the board wasn't properly connected to the daughter board.  There was a pad, but it wasn't connected to the actual component.  A couple hairs of wire fixed everything!  Happy Day!!

I also have a quick question about installing options and aligning the radio a little more.  After I install my options, I might need to tighten up the alignment a little more.  As long as I do not have the ATU connected, I can do any alignment with the other options installed without having to remove anything?  The options I have are: Noise Blanker, 160 Meters, SSB Module, Audio Filter (not DSP), and the Tuner.

Thanks & 73,

David
