After completing the IF alignment (p 64) I could hear nothing on K2 #4785. After much hairpulling and unfruitful signal tracing, I gave up. Then, my VERY good friend, Roy, W4WFB, offered to have a look. He has built two K2s. He found the problem, and here's what it was. On p. 59 (in my manual), it calls for D40 and D41 to be installed on the underside of the RF board. I put them in the wrong holes. Roy moved them and bingo, #4758 came to life FB. The location of these diodes is not marked on the board, so I suggest you study fig 6-23 very carefully before soldering. I have been building stuff, kits and from scratch, including my own amplifier designs, for 45 years and I still managed to mess it up. Thanks, Roy!!!
