Christophe,
Tune the K2 to 7100kHz
Then plug the internal counter probe into TP1 and the P6 header on the
Control Board.
Enter the menu to CAL FCTR and hold EDIT
The frequency will be seen in the K2 display.
You could alternately use an external frequency counter to read the
frequency at TP1.

good evening Don,
I checked the values and solders of the capacitors mentioned
they are ok
on the other hand remind me of the procedure to check the frequency of
the VFO so as to find 12,015 KHZ pages in the assembly manual
Thanks again for your help

Christophe,
The most common cause of a 40 meter only failure in the K2 is an
incorrect setting of the D19 secondary menu parameter.
If you have the K60XV option installed, or if you installed the "Rework
Eliminators" when you built the K2, you must set D19 to "y".
If you do not have either the K60XV or the Rework Eliminators, then the
D19 parameter must be set to "n".
If the above is not applicable, you may have a problem in the 40 meter
bandpass filter. Check the capacitors in that bandpass filter - C5 and
C7 = 100pF, C4 and C8 = 820pF, C6 = 4.7pF.
Also check the VFO frequency when the K2 is set to 7100kHz, it should be
close to 12,015kHz.

hello Don, hello everyone,
this morning I tested the K2 on my own.
the consumption (ampere) of K2 gave me part of the solution
the K2 alone in transmission consumes 0.5 amp on 40M then on the other
2 amp bands with a setting at 5Watts
so I have no broadcast on 40M only, we can hear the relays switch ...
after I admit being a bit lost to know where to start
I will review the soldering of relays K1, K12, K14 in case ...
could you give me advice since you know the K2 very well
Thanks in advance Don

Christophe,
I forgot to mention,
Before attempting to adjust the C1 null, first pre-set R26 and R27 to
43k ohms. Measure R26 from U5 pin 5 to ground and R27 at U5 pin 3 to
ground.
Then go through the nulling process followed by the power setting
process that I outlined in my prior email.

Good morning all ,
Zero adjustment of SWR bridge (C1) page 48
as you see on the video , I set the K2 to 5Watts
https://we.tl/t-MOz5AX1v3l
I managed to adjust the SWR the K2 announces my power at 0.1 Watts !!
the consumption goes from 0.32 Amps in Rx, in Tune mode 0.5 amps
I should have 5 Watts
Thank you for your help
