Tim, Troubleshooting the basic K2 is even easier that all that - just put a jumper from pins 1 to 3 on J9 and J10 and your receive path should be restored. If you want to restore the transmit path you will have to insert a .001 uF capacitor into pins 7 and 12 of J11.
My guess is that you will find the base K2 OK, and your problem is on the KSB2 - most likely in the filter switching area (all those diodes near the crystals), or an unsoldered connection on the KSB2 board. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > > Hello all - > My basic K2 #4667 was operating on cw EXTREMELY well (audio outstanding > by the way compared to two prior K2's). > > However, today I finished and installed the SSB board.
