Eric, Yes, the most likely problem is a faulty pot on both the AF Gain and the RF Gain. You are probably referring to mention of the Alternate AF Gain Wiring Mod. If your K2 serial number is greater than 3000, it is already installed, but if your serial number is below that, you should change the wiring of the AF Gain control.
That wiring change reduces the DC current flowing through the pot - and that wiring change will *not* cure an already noisy pot, but it will keep a good pot in good condition longer. 73, Don W3FPR On 1/19/2012 10:04 AM, William Eric McFadden wrote: > Good day. > > My Revision A K2 has noisy AF and RF gain pots.
