In regards to the reflector/forum - I posted on the website under the K2
forum. There are also categories for the K1, KX1, K3, etc. I am not using
the e-mail system to get the post in to the reflector. I forgot that the
e-mail list does not "categorize" posts in the same regard that the website
does for the reflector. 

Just playing around here - I dug out my manual and found the RX Mixer. I
tapped the Post-Mixer Amp side of C159 and the ground side of R80 with a
length of RG-174. Then I ran that back to the receive antenna connector on
the 160 module (desoldered the wires to the 160 module). I figured this
would give me a 4.915mHz reference from which to tap but it doesn't work too
well. There's more to learn here for sure. 

I figured there would be a place in the circuit I could tap to bring out the
IF to the analyzer. Would I not be correct in assuming that the spectrum
analyzer can read the same signal(s) fed to the rest of the K2's receiver?
