[Elecraft] K2 BFO Drift / Filter Alignment

[Don Wilhelm]

  Bruce,

The K2 BFO will shift slightly if the bottom cover is deformed, but that 
does not happen under normal conditions.  Check to see if your K2 is 
sitting on its feet properly.  If you have something under the K2 or 
have it on an uneven surface, it may be deforming the bottom cover 
slightly when you press on the top.
