Wow you guys are good! Heh, can't believe I missed that, but then again I build better than I diagnose! It was L2. No continuity at all. I checked the other inductors and they are fine. I called up Elecraft and tommorrow they will be sending a new one (or two) in the mail. Hopefully that will solve the problem as everything else voltage-wise checks out as it should. Thanks to all and I will update when I get the replacement part installed. 73,
