SOLVED!!! First I would like to thank everyone very much who responded both on and off the list with help and suggestions, I'm not sure how long it would have taken me to find the problem without your support.
The problem: It all did lead to one part, K2 in the BPF. K2 was in the SET position and would not go to RESET under any condition. The reason, pin 10 of K2 had become grounded during the installation of the K60XV when you have to solder the ground braid of a length of RG174 to L4. The trace from pin 10 of K2 runs right next to this location, and right at this spot, the trace was exposed just a little little bit, allowing a piece of solder to bridge the gap to the braid on the RG174. In retrospect this seems like something I should have easily seen on visual inspection, but because the exposer of the trace was so small and masked by a tiny excess piece of the ground braid I did not see the connection. 5 minutes at the soldering table fixed the problem and rig immediately started functioning like normal again. Let me just say thanks again to everyone, this was a great learning experience for me. It allowed me to learn procedures I hadn't done before and made me love my Elecraft K2 that much more. I can't wait to get started on my next Elecraft project, though I'm not sure what it is yet. :) Marc W1RSC K2 #4360 _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
