[Elecraft] K1 no power out B2

[Joe McGerald]

They sure are fun. I've had a couple but this is the 1st I've built. 
Thanks again.
Joe

PS just had my first QSO with it, and it was on 20m.

That was a common error in the K1 early days, especially if the builder had used (unnecessarily IMO) Spectrogram to align the receiver...that seemed to create a reluctance to alter the coil adjustments during the transmitter alignment.  The result then was always similar...no transmitter output.
