Hi Jon,
I can understand your frustration, however, if you have not got the
skills as yet to build a simple diode probe ( you can solder the parts
together, you don't actually need a board), you are probably nowhere
near the stage of building a K1. Actually drills for circuit board are
cents to buy and always useful. Do you not have a Dremel tool or similar?
Having said all that, you have one band working so something went right!
Is there not a club near you or an 'elmer' who has test gear who could help?
You will get terrific support from Elecraft but they would expect you to
have a basic skillset. If you cannot fix it yourself, I am sure the
support team would sort it for you. There are also plenty of people on
this reflector that would be willing to help should you ask for it.
