[Elecraft] K2 BFO Drift / Filter Alignment

[K1FFX]

Hi, Don -

Thanks for the hint.  Yes ... the "shift when press" symptom is definitely,
now I see, due to bottom panel interaction.    I believe the bottom panel
is under stress from force exerted by the tilt stand (which I had a heck
of a time installing back when I built the K2).  I will look into this
further ...
maybe if I can resolve the "shift when press" symptom, the apparent
"shift by itself" symptom will also be solved.

Thanks!

- Bruce
