[Elecraft] K2 RF Gain Control

[Don Wilhelm]

Glenn,

It does sound like the RF Gain pot has become scratchy - replace it, 
don't even bother with temporary fixes like cleaning stuff.

With that serial number, replace both the RF Gain pot and the AF Gain 
pot.  While you have the front panel board removed from the metalwork, I 
would recommend that you do the entire Alternate AF Gain Wiring Mod.  It 
involves all three boards, but no parts - only trace cuts and added wire.
