Hi I finished assembling K2 # 5846 a few days ago and have a problem that I need some help on. After finishing the initial alignment I could hear signals on several of the bands and had transmitter output. During the final alignment the display started burning too bright. I found a solder bridge on the J7 connector that was shorting the outputs of the 8 volt and 5 volt regulators together. This was causing both regulators to be putting out 8 volts. I cleared this up and was proceedng with the alignment when I notice that U6 on the control board felt warm and I had lost voltage on most of the components on the RF board. I turned the rig off for a couple of hours and when I tried to turn it back on, it wouldn't power up. I checked F1 and it has 12.8 volts on both pins. Anyone have any ideas?
