[Elecraft] K1 receiver problems update

[Michael Moody]

Hi All,

Please ignore the bit about the faint data noise in my previous post.
It was my WIFI router. I guess I'll have to live without internet now.
:)

However the "no receive" problem still remains. I think I may have
damaged the Q10 2N7000 in the rf preamp/mute circuit. I found another
owner on the web with the same problem. He stated that he removed the
Q10 and the problem went away, and then replaced it with a new 2N7000.

-can I remove the Q10 and leave the space blank for testing?

-if I do need to replace it, what is the proper one to get? Digikey
lists a lot of 2n7000 with varying specs.

Thanks for your help,

Mike
