K2 No current display

Chris Meagher-3
My K2 has recently been repaired after a polarity reversal of amp
connected to it blew out the bnc connector.
It works all OK, except that when I switch the display to show
Volts/current, the current stays on i0.00.
I have checked the current sense resistor voltage drop is OK for both
RX and TX, and the voltage is showing
at control board MCU pin 4 ( current sense input). (0.013 volts RX,
0.11 volts at 10W TX).

So at this point I'm stumped. Faulty MCU chip? Any advice on/off the
forum would be appreciated.

Chris,

With a voltage at U6 pin 4, an indication that does not follow the
voltage at pin 4 tells me that the U6 input was damaged.
