Indeed, but since I did build it I think it's only fitting that I personally spark it :)   I hadn't had the cover off the K2 in years, so I forgot where the plugs go.  I am planning on adding the KPA100 soon, so that solve that problem.  Thanks,

Jim

You could always send it in and have Elecraft repair it to avoid further “sparking” J

Subject: [Elecraft] Aux AF Jack

 

Hello all,

I accidentally plugged my internal battery into the AUX AF jack instead of the AUX +12 jack.  You can imagine what happened.  I fried the firmware, which was okay because it needed to be replaced anyway.  Now that the new firmware is in, the receiver is deaf.  I traced that problem to U11 on the RF Board (Detector).  There is no signal going to the BFO, and pin 6 is 'microphonic'.  The signal from the IF Amp/Filter seems to be fine, and all of the DC voltages on the pins of the NE602 are to spec. 

I do not have much experience repairing my K2.  Are there any 'gotchas' I should know about with regard to the detector/bfo interface?  I only want to take the thing apart once if I can help it.....they don't call me sparky for nothin'.

Thanks,

Jim
