As I recall, 500 mV drop across a saturated 2N3906 is not unusual - I
think all is well.

Nickolay,
Yes, anti-static measures are important when handling the 2N7000 (and
many more devices.
If you do not have a goo anti-static mat and a wrist strap, then
shorting all pins together until after the device is soldered in place
is a good preventative measure.

Hi Don,
Thanks for your answer. The output of the 8V voltage regulator is just
perfect (for a 10% device) - 7.98V. I was wondering why I get 500mV
voltage drop across Q1 & Q2, but if you say that's OK, then I'm fine.
Slightly offtopic - I had also another failure of 2N7000 - again in Control

Sorry for the blank post, it was a "slip of the finger" problem.
The 2N7000 is a great switching FET, but as you noticed is susceptible
to ESD damage until it is mounted in its circuit, and then the static
susceptibility is contained.
As for your fix and substitution, measure the output of the

Hello fellow hams,
One more K2 (#7293) was born this week in Europe - thanks to the Elecraft team
for designing this kit and making it available for the ham crowd.
The radio is now assembled, but I have small issues with the testing. During
the initial testing on 40m reception the radio was alm
