I just installed the K2 unit in my K2 (#4836).
All seems to work but a little less sensitivity in the lower part of the
band (F1850 Khz).
I wasn't to worried because the next page described an allignment test.
The first algnment is about the VCO lineairization. When performing,
Hi Bob and Jim,
Thanks for info!
I forgot to read the errata page (ai ai ai)! No one to blame at Elecraft

This will clear up my cloudy mood (hi).
Thanks so far.
