David, The LMC660 op amp can have a tendency to oscillate when driving a capacitive load (see the LMC660 datasheet) although it is normally stable in the K2. Before replacing it, try the following steps - check after each one and stop if no oscillation. 1) Flush trim the leads of U10 and the

[Elecraft] K2 U10C Oscillating

On my K2 (#3014) I hear signals and noises while tuning across 160m with the antenna disconnected. The worst is a strong but unstable signal that moves from about 1850 kHz to about 1910 kHz during about 15 minutes after I switch on the radio. I accidentally traced the signal to U10C on the
