Joe, you're right of course - and thank you. I have no clue why I typed
DTR! Google sources did indeed say RXD (received data, pin 2) and that is
in fact how I wired the cable. I guess I was looking at my hand drawn
schematic notes and my eyes got a little dyslexic.
Also, thanks to you and
James,
The amount of "rework" is minimal. There are ways to avoid doing as
much component removal and changes, but I would not recommend that you
do it on your initial kit build.
If you were to build a 2nd K2 (after installing the various options
once), then I can see you reviewing the

Thanks Don & Keith
I'm going to replace both pots and do the wiring mod. Also saw in the
archives where the earphone jack can be an issue and will replace that
too.

I have a new to me K2 SN in the 1200's that appears to have a flaky RF Gain
control. The lightest of touch on the knob triggers what I think is AGC.
The receiver goes silent for a few seconds, longer with slow AGC. Is it
the pot or is there something else I should be looking at?
If I need to
Thanks Ed and Bill. That probably should have been obvious but I have this
issue with overthinking.

I put my KAT500 on the bottom because it made cable management easier. There
are no coax cables hanging over the back of the KPA500 so no strain on the
cables/jacks. A secondary benefit is that the KPA500 vents are unobstructed so
no spacing is required. Ken WA2LBI LG G6 -- Original

The first thing you should check is dust on the control variable
resistor. Using a different variable resistor will give you a quick answer.

My KAT500 sits on top of the KPA500. The manual says it's OK but I would
like to add clearance to improve air flow. Does anyone have an elegant
solution to raise the KAT500 above the KPA500?

Glenn,
It does sound like the RF Gain pot has become scratchy - replace it,
don't even bother with temporary fixes like cleaning stuff.
With that serial number, replace both the RF Gain pot and the AF Gain
pot. While you have the front panel board removed from the metalwork, I
would
All the pots in the K2 are sealed - no way for either dust or cleaning
fluids to get into the pot workings.
To substitute a different variable resistor, one would have to remove
the pot from the board - may as well just change it. Order a new one
from Elecraft.

Aaron,
I sent you an off-list email. There is no K2AKIT. The K2PAKIT has
replacement transistors for the base K2. There are other transistors in
that kit - 2 PNA transistors for use at Q11 and Q13, and a 1.5 ohm
1/2 watt resistor for those K2s that still have a 1/4 watt resistor at
