Hi Mike Don,W3FPR just gave you very good tips to look at your problem. Another one may be the BFO frequency not in place in respect of the filter bandpass. Look in the technical part of the filter alignment and see if your BFO frequency follow (at some 10th of Hz) the values given in the book.

Finishing up K2 6042 today. Have fine output on all bands, but no receive! I did use another HF rig to create signal for alignment . . . and I did hear that. I can also hear SPOT, so think amp is okay. But nothing from antenna. For reference, I connected my K1 to same antenna and receive was
