[Elecraft] K2 Won't power on

[Don Wilhelm]

Jeremy,

A power reading of 0.1, 0.2 or 0.3 is only residual noise on the power 
detection circuits.  Since you do not have Q7 and Q8 installed, your 
real power output is zero.

Yes, go ahead and change Q11 and Q13.  That is not certain to change 
anything, but it will do no harm.
A slightly lower than normal bias voltage for the PA transistors is not 
a problem, but if it is higher than 0.64 volts, that is a problem that 
should warn you not to install Q7 and Q8 until it is resolved.
