Bruce, Make certain that the two standoffs are mounted on the RF board and that the bottom cover is installed with all 6 screws.
When properly secured, and with the tilt bail in either the up or down position, the bottom cover should not move with pressure on the K2 top. Be certain there is no "rocking" motion with the tilt bail extended - if there is, it could cause your problem - loosen the bail feet screws a bit and reposition to correct any "rocking". 73, Don W3FPR On 1/5/2011 4:23 PM, K1FFX wrote: > Hi, Don - > > Thanks for the hint.
