Hi John:

Consider downloading my "Quick 'n Dirty Signal Tracing Suggestions" for the K2 from my web site at: www.n0ss.net It'll be found in the 'Elecraft K2-Related Files' section.

With it, you can start out testing at the innermost part of the receiver RF section and progress outward (toward the antenna) until the signal stop... at which point you've isolated the section where it problem resides.

It may not be the BEST way to troubleshoot, but it's relatively easy and requires no special equipment to at least get a pretty good idea of where the problem might be.

Good luck,

Tom Hammond    N0SS

I've got a K2 / 100 that has had a dramatic loss of sensitivity. This occurred after a thunderstorm, when the antennas were disconnected outside the house, but there was still some residual coax feeds (unterminated) still connected to the K2.

Where to start to look? Appears to have lost sensitivity on all bands, all modes. Transmit is still fine (at least CW) .

Thanks
John
