I bought a k2/100 from someone on this list several months ago, and shipped to my remote QTH in CA. Just got out here to play with it last weekend. It works fine on 160, but on 40 (and probably other bands, haven't had time to check) the tuning knob tunes makes the frequency readout change but the transmitted frequency (as observed on another radio) doesn't. The readout said 7002 kHz, but the transmitted (and receive) freq was around 7070.
Any ideas what could be causing this? Some operational settings I'm forgetting about? Other "glitches:" Tuning knob is VERY stiff compared to my own K2. Don't have tools with me to work on it here to diagnose cause. Strong transients when the RF gain knob is turned (sounds like DC on the pot from a leaky cap). Causes the AGC line to essentially mute the radio for a second or so, then recovers to where the knob sets it. Any ideas on these things?
