[Elecraft] K2, Hi-cur reading

[Hans Elfelt Bonnesen]

Thanks for snappy reply to KAT2 troubles.
Started on your presumption that connection to dummy load was unstable or non exsisting. It wasn't.
Was about to take ATU apart for a rewinding of T1 but --
quickly decided to check the K2 in its original condition.
Disconnected J7 and J8 + removed ATU from lid.
Switching to original antenna plug and thus went back to 
K2's former condition with one exception : The new P6 plug was now sitting in its place, as it is hard to 
remove.
Connected K2 to adjusted antenna and (ALAS !!) had the dreaded Hi-cur info on display.
Resistance from collectors of Q7/Q8 to ground are both around 320 ohms . Thermal pads neatly intact. Shoulder washers in place.

Beginning to feel that the initiating ATU problems during CALn procedure was in fact a malfunction in the K2 itself.
Where to look ?  Any suggestions ?
