[Elecraft] Voltages for Q5 and U8?

The problem will be found either in the bandpass filter on the left end 
of the 2 band board, or in the connections between the filter board and 
U7  Check the path between U7 pin 4 and the filter board P1 pin 2 and 
also between U7 pin 5 and filter board P1 pin 1 - both should have close 
to zero ohms resistance.

If that is not the problem, check the capacitor values for C1 through 
C10 on the board against the band components chart.

You might check for continuity between the junction of C4 and C5 when 
the band is set to Band1 and between the junction of C9 and C10 when set 
for Band2 - the relays are latching, so you can set the band and then 
remove the filter board to check for continuity.

Do you have the same problem on both bands?  If so, it is probably a 
connection problem.  On only one band, I would suspect a wrong component.
