Hi Don, You nailed it I put T-7 in backwards. <Duh!>. As soon as I put it in correctly, well it sounds like a K-2 ought to. The K-2 was a Christmas gift from my XYL and I am enjoying the build. With this problem solved Phase II of construction is complete. I must call the House of Elecraft for more options so I can continue the experience. 73, Joe N9JR

If it is backwards the sensitivity will be low, the audio will be low and the AGC will not work properly although everything else will appear OK.
