I looked for a while for a wiring error in 4201 before I found I did exactly the same thing. I also looked for low power for days and then Gary pointed out that the bias resistor on the bottom of the board (the one I marked as having been installed) was not installed. This is a complex kit with many parts and "stuff happens". Elecraft's secret weapons are their novel use of this exploder, having Scott and Gary fix us up with lost parts or building difficulties, and the fantastic repeatability of the design. I agree with the tunnel vision part. I definitely developed it on the bias resistor probably because it is somewhat painful to remove the bottom and look, (hindsight being 20-20 and all). I did this several times during the course of events. I found building this to be a good learning experience and while more difficult than my SB-110, DX40, and DX60,
it was also more rewarding.

Hi Fellow Elecrafters,

My K2's internal speaker is now alive and well.

The bottom line is this, "I developed "tunnel vision", so to speak.  And, was "locked on" to the first 
P5 I saw, that "appeared" to meet the needs of the speaker installation."  But, had I read and 
"digested" fully, what was written, I would not have had this problem.  Or, taken up space on this reflector.  My 
apologies go out to all.  And, hopefully, this post will maybe help someone else not make the same mistake that I did.

All My Best,
