Stan, When you say the "receive function is off", I trust you mean that the RANT menu parameter is set to OFF for 20 meters - that menu setting is PER BAND (there is no global ON/OFF setting). Please check the menu while 20 meters is selected.
If RANT is OFF for 20 meters, then let us know if it transmits with full power capability on 20 meters. If not, I would suspect a relay point has failed because you said this was a sudden failure - such a relay failure will show up on transmit as well as receive. If the problem is on both transmit and receive, than one of the filters is suspect - either the bandpass filter for 20 meters (but why is 30 meters OK), or the Low Pass Filter (again, why is 30 meters OK), and if the KPA100 is installed, the low pass filters in the KPA100 might be the problem. There is also the possibility that the VCO frequency has changed and is causing the problem with 20 meters, but that would also cause transmit to be faulty on 20 meters. All the circuits in the K2 for both transmit and receive, other than those I have mentioned are *not* frequency selective - if those work on one band, they will work on 20 meters too. If only 20 meter receive is a problem, then I would suspect something in your antenna system has failed rather than the K2 - what is unique to 20 meters in your system? Look there. 73, Don W3FPR Stanley Thompson wrote: > Sirs > > My K2 was working well and suddenly 20 metres has gone wrong. All other > bands, including 30 metres are OK.
