Steve, With R58 almost a direct short, there is a possibility that the PA transistors were conducting too hard and caused their untimely demise. But it would be best to check the RF voltages first before drawing any drastic conclusions like that. There actually could be any number of guesses abo

Hi Guys, A few weeks ago I managed to induce a fault into my K2 by transmitting into no load when testing the top band option. I found that R58, the 180 ohm, half watt resitior at the far end of T4 had been damaged and had a value of 4 ohms. So I replaced it and reassembled the K2 and I still
