Byron, Have you done any orderly troubleshooting? If not, it is time to do so instead of "shotgunning" to try to fix it. First, remove the KPA100 from the base K2 and see if there is normal output from the base K2 on all bands. If the problem is in the base K2, then do the Transmit Signal Tracing procedures listed in the back of the K2 manual. That should identify the failing stage. Once you have found the stage that fails, we can help if the DC voltage tables do not reveal the failure.
