[Elecraft] K2 - Lost 40m Tx after install of K60XV option

[Neil Zampella]

Thanks to all who sent advice ...  Don (as usual) steered me in the
right direction.

I need to replace the K1 relay as I accidentally touched it when
removing the RF Board C6 capacitor for the K60XV installation. Didn't
think much at the time, but definitely bit me in the tail here.
