[Elecraft] 2T Gen problem

[Don Wilhelm]

Jeremy,

What is the voltage at the gate of Q2?  And what is the voltage at the 
drain?
Those two points should control the level of the 1900Hz tone.

Likely possibility is that Q2 was damaged by static when installed.

You should have the JP2 jumper set for the "T" position.
