David, The problem is in the 160 meter Low Pass Filter (on the K160RX board).
First, be certain that the 2 toroids have their leads well stripped and tinned. You should see a bit of the tinned lead above the board. Check the soldering at K1 as well as C1, C2 and C3. 73, Don W3FPR David Heinsohn wrote: > Hi All > > Hope I can get a bit of help here and that the solution is a simple one. > > As I was putting the K2 back together I installed the 160 module and > tested it.
