My bare-bones K2 SN 5411 is in the build process (ctrl board done, front
panel 80% done). I'm wondering what mods I should do now to avoid
teardown / rework later? So far it looks like I should change C8 on the
control board to 10 pf. What else?
That's only if your AGC gives you grief - hold PRE/ATT and AGC, and if your
S-Meter goes off the scale and your rig goes deaf, you want to change Ctrl-C8.
I don't understand enough about the AGC circuitry to know whether to
recommend it to anyone who's NOT seeing those symptoms. It may be that one
particular batch of X1 crystals was a bit dodgy and needs an extra pull in
the right direction, and there may be some disadvantage in doing this if
your X1 is "normal"...
... after all, there's well over 5000 K2s out there that DIDN'T need
Ctrl-C8 changed, and only a handful of us who DID.
