hello everyone,
Several years ago I bought my K2 and I have been very happy since then, but a month ago tragedy struck my life. I noticed that the radio was "deaf", so I did a tuning cycle and my radio turned off completely, I checked everything on the outside and it looked good, I checked the power and it was fine (13.2 v), the antenna was fine, so I removed the top cover and that was where I saw the "big problem", the coaxial that carries the RF from the board to the tunner was loose (the ground part of the coax was broken), in the physical inspection everything looks fine, no "pop" was heard, There was no smoke anywhere or a burning smell, so I have no idea where to start, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I bought the radio assembled and it has the following modules
KAF2
KSB2
KNB2
K160M
KIO2
KAT2
I really hope that you guys cand help me, it´s hard to find a place to fix it here in Mexico, and the shipping cost to send it to the US are really high.
best regards to all of you
