[Elecraft] My K2 is finished up to testing stage but no Transmit - receives fine all bands ideas?

[Don Wilhelm]

Cliff,

If you have RF From the TX mixer, then the K2 is going into transmit - 
U10 is powered from the 8T voltage rail and that only comes on during 
transmit.  8R and 8T control everything.

Help me understand your statement that U9 shows higher voltages.  My 
guess is that pin 3 stays close to 12 volts.
If that is the case, then your problem is most likely that Q20 is the 
problem - it should conduct during TX and if it is working properly it 
will reduce the voltage on U9 pin 3 to about 6 volts. Those 2N7000 FETs 
are easily damaged by static.

73,
