Larry,
I suggest your first step is to count the turns on all the toroids in
the Low Pass filter area.
Count the number of times the wire passes through the center of the core.
One extra turn would lower the cutoff frequency of the low pass filter.
Since many bands are arranged in pairs - 40 and 60 meters are paired, 30
and 20 are paired, 17 and 15 are paired and 12 and 10 meters are
paired. It looks like the higher band of each pair is giving you
problems. Since 12 and 10 meters are close in frequency, the cutoff may
have dropped below the 12 meter point.
Again, check the number of turns on the toroids as a first step.

I was working on my new K2 Alignment and Test Part III
All was going well until I got to the 40 Meter TX Alignment page 78
I followed the instructions but when I got to the "put K2 into TUNE
mode to peak the L1 I had not RF out. the display showed P.01 not the
P2.0
I was expected.
I tested and checked and could not find the problem. So I tried
another band.
This is what I found with the power out set to P 2.0
80M P 2.0
40M P .01
30M P 2.3
20M P .01
17M P 2.2
15M P 2.0
12M P .01
10M P .01
I have 4 bands with RF out and 4 band that do not.
I am missing the common connection in the 4 bad bands and what to
check next or what the problem could e.
I have check the obvious but I am missing something.
I have got through the reflector archives and have not found any
posting with this problem
Thanks in advance for any help
