Ken,
The problem is caused by the 8 volt regulator being on the low side of
its specification (the spec sheet says 7.5 to 8.5 volts is OK output for
the regulator - and the current batch of regulators at Aptos seem to be
on the low side (they were mostly on the high side a couple years ago -
but I digress).
Measure the actual voltage of your 8 volt regulator, and calculate 45%
of that reading. Set the AGC Threshold to that value and all will be well.

OK guys, now I need some guidance. I'm building K2 serial number 6625. I
am on page 48 on the manual, Setting the AGC Threshold. I have the RF GAIN
control fully clockwise. The highest voltage reading I can get on pin 5 of
U2 while adjusting R1 is 3.65V. The manual calls for 3.80V. All tests up
to this point have been completed successfully. Any ideas or suggestions?
Your help is appreciated.
