Dave,
The two relays are K16 and K17. Download the manual from the Elecraft
website and you can view the schematics without having the paper copy handy.
Check the soldering carefully - a bad connection can produce the
symptoms you describe. Relay failures do occur, but they are rare
unless physically damaged. Except for ones that were burned by a
soldering iron, I have found only 2 relay failures in all the K2s that I
have serviced over the years.

Hi,
I have a gradually worsening problem on my K2 when I try to select
PREamp, ATT, or normal. The symptoms are the relay clicks (normally)
but on the PRE-ON and ATT positions I get attenuation levels on RX.
In Normal mode I get a very deaf K2. Sometimes the only fix is to
repeatedly press the PRE button until things return to normal, or I
change bands and return to the band I was operating.
I suspect a dud relay. My schematics packed away somewhere. Could
someone advise which one (or ones) would be the culprit.
