I just got back around to working on this "20 meter problem" and it turns
out there is no problem.
Rich KE0X was on the right track. The K2 remembers the rANT setting per
band. Somehow 20 meters got set to receive antenna. I did not catch that the
rANT was switching in on 20 only.
Now I feel stupid. Good reason for 20 mtr receive being weak huh?

Might want to verify that the correct antenna (the V is not above ANT2) is
selected and it could be the Receive antenna is not selected (Menu - rAnt
OFF)

Subject: [Elecraft] 20 meter problem on new K2
I just noticed that my K2 build 43xx is almost totally dead on 20 meters.
I
think all the other bands are OK.
I hooked up my N-Gen and could not hear anything on 20. I thought I could
use a scope to follow the generators noise signal but the scope makes
about
as much noise as the generator when going through the bandpass circuit.
I am guessing it is probably bandpass or low pass and I need to start
checking to make sure the relays are making contact, etc.??
It worked when I built it a couple months ago and am not sure when it quit
as I dont use 20 often. This K2 is totally optioned and I have removed
the
100 watt PA to make sure it is not the culprit.
Any comments on the best way to trouble shoot this?
Thanks and 73,
Rich
