Jean-Francois, Great pictures. It brings bank many fine memories of when I went through the process with K2 sn 467 almost five years ago! For me, building the K2 was just as much fun (and not nearly as dangerous) as when I built a DX100 back in 1958. I was 15 years old then and not at all

K2 2330 experiences the same malady. Even a slight bump will cause this. I'm waiting to get in there and replace the pot. Just having too much fun to open her up. Hate to replace it and have the problem resurface. 1) yes. 2) ?? AF pot gives plenty of volume with no scratchiness so no problem

My audio cuts out momentarily whenever I rotate the RF gain pot. I suppose the RF gain pot is generating noise (dirty) and that noise is triggering the AGC. I do find that if I rapidly rotate the knob back and forth through perhaps ninety degrees a dozen times or more, the problem is
