Need Help with K2 build

WA7SPY
I recently purchased a new K2 to replace my older one that I sold a
while ago. I am to the first power up test stage. Everything checks out
normal except when I go to measure the 4.00000 freq on the control board
at the left side of C22. I get all 000000s. I have checked the freq
probe for shorts and all is normal. I removed the heat shrink and
checked the coax to the capacitor and it checks good as well as checking
good at the solder joints on the back side of of P6. I even tried to
measure the freq at pin 14 on U6 and get all 00000s. I checked X2 for
shorts to ground and none were found as well as shorts between the
crystal leads and none were found. I have continuity to pin 14 to C22 on
U6. The freq probe does work when I touch my finger on the tip.

I am suspecting a bad component Where do I look? Can I continue to the
next build stage?

Thanks,
Glenn WA7SPY
