Those are excellent suggestions, especially about trying USB on another
band. That hadn't even occurred to me. Thank you, I'll try your
suggestions.

James,
There is no band dependency on the KSB2 option board, if it works on one
band, it will work on other bands. Although it could be a LSB is OK, but USB
is not - try it on 17 meter SSB. Try it on 17 meter SSB.
Try a Direct Frequency Entry to anywhere in the 20 meter band to be certain
one of your FD "friends" did not tune the VFO from one band to another
without using the band buttons.

Hi all:
I didn't build my K2, I bought it second hand in excellent condition a
few years ago and really love it.
My K2 came with all the trimmings, Jessie (KB7PSG) and I added a 6 meter
transverter plus the 60 meter transverter and until recently everything
worked fine.
During Field Day this year I was working 20 watts SSB and noticed I had
almost no output power, I switched to an old Alinco we have as a backup
radio.
After Field Day we set my radio back up on my desk and it was working
great. I figured bad connection, at least at first. I was working 40
meters no problem, but when I switched to 20 meters, again almost no
output power.
I played with all the bands I have antennas for and found that from 6 to
80 meters, 80 being marginal for my antennas, everything was good except
20 meters.
The problem doesn't affect CW at all on any band so I figured it has to be
a problem on the SSB board, but I don't know where to look.
