Hi Don, The temperance and helpfulness that you and all the other list members extend to help solve a frustrating problem makes this list a great part of the Elecraft "package" that enables folks to get their gear going. I was thinking, after Jon mentioned joining a local ham club, that it would likely be simpler and quicker to find a ham with the appropriate receiver to check this. Even a RF probe is not as iron-clad a device for detecting this problem, but if an RF probe only were to be employed for troubleshooting this would be the first place to look for a problem. I believe that the eight-year history of the K1 shows there to be no more likely cause of K1 20m band problems (on either the two-band or four-band boards) than the failure of the 22 MHz heterodyne crystal before installation, or its premature death afterwards. 73, Mike / KK5F _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
