Not really.  That's the band 1 path, for which satisfactory performance was reported.

Which, assuming the fault does not stem from the same unlikely pathology on both filter boards, still seems most probable (although P1 is on the KFL1-2, so J6 on the RF board is more accurate).

You could substitute the KFL1-4 from your other K1 to see if this or related problems show up.  The four-band board couples the pre-mixer tuning circuit differently than does the two-band board, using U7 output from *both* pin 4 and 5 together on all four bands.  A problem with the U7 pin 5 path on the K1 could show up on all four bands rather than just band 2.

I would not worry about the K1 zapping the KFL1-4.  The MCU is the only chip and it is obviously working on all your KFLs.

I would not worry about anything coming from the K1 zapping anything on a filter board.  The filter board
