[Elecraft] KSB2 INSTALL - RX LOST

2008-05-15 Thread MTcja
Just throwing this out there while I start backtracking to figure it out. I have installed the K160RX, KAT2, KBT2 and now the KSB2. Prior to install I was able to hear activity on the bands. After install I could hear very few stations. On the ones that I could hear, it was barely so even

Chris, Track down the receive problem first - it is not related to either the mic wiring or the transmit path. The problem is on the KSB2 board. First thing to check is the orientation of the diodes on the KSB2 board - all the cathodes (marked ends) should be mounted away from the board. The
