Don, thanks for the info. I just lifted one end of D19 from the board and indeed it is a dead short. I powered up the K1 without the band module installed and it powered up fine, so that indeed is the problem.
Since I am so D&*&n stupid, I don't think I'll use the K1 without the Zener installed. It looks like changing out Q7 would be a MUCH bigger deal, so now I'll go on the hunt for a 1n4753 locally -- maybe at RF Parts in San Marcos. Thanks again. Joe AF6NI PS - boy it's nice to have a radio that can be worked on. I also use many "boatanchors" and that's one of the advantages to them also. -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Oops-K1-Dead-tp6254096p6257162.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
