I finally figured out why i wasn't getting rx audio on my newly built
K2. I would take it apart, and it would work when I was troubleshooting
it. Put it back together and I had no rx audio. So, I started putting
it together 1 screw at a time and found the point where I lost rx
audio. U6 on the control board was coming into contact with the board
for the vfo encoder. When i would take the screws out of the control
board, it would let it away from the front board enough for it to work.
I cut down a couple standoffs to be about 1/16" longer than the stock
ones with the kit and it holds the control board off just enough to no
longer cause a problem.
I sent this to Elecraft support as well. Maybe something very minor
changed with one of the components nearby that is causing one of the
boards to sit ever so slightly different.
Now I can get back to trying to tune it up!
