Hi Don, Thanks for the pointers. We've just spent half an hour working through all of the steps that Chloe had gone through to install the extras and we spotted a few joints that needed touching up from the previous owner's build. Just tested the radio and we're back to full audio output.

[Elecraft] K2 audio output low after upgrades

2013-08-31 Thread Iain Kelly M0PCB
Greetings list, I've been assisting my partner Chloe M0GEJ with some upgrades to her K2 (s/n 5484) and we've come a bit unstuck. It's a base K2 with SSB, 160m and the KAF2. She has added the internal ATU and the 60M module. She also had to replace a faulty headphone jack on the front panel

Iain, I suspect it is not really an audio problem, but a problem somewhere in the receiver front end or IF or product detector. If the S-meter is less lively than before, the problem is prior to the Product Detector, but if the S-meter has the usual response, look at the product detector
