No output or receive on 60 meters

[N9BX]

I may have posted this twice not sure.

My Elecraft K2  4728  Has bothe the 169 and the 60 Meter Add on Module.  160 as
well as the rest of the radio works great at both High 100 watts and low, QRP
levels.  But not on 60 Meters.
I can get the VCO voltage fine and yes the radio tunes 60 meters, but I can not
receive on it or peak C1 and C2 as nothing is heard.  Also 40 Meters has now
went Dead.  I get no power output on 40 or 60 Meters but full out put on the
rest of the Ham Bands.

Any help would be appreciated.  This is first installation of this Mod Board,
so it never has worked yet.

Thanks

This past week I installed both the 60m & 160m modules as well as the NB
to my otherwise stock K2 (#4786).  Initially I had a similar problem but
then reallized I hadn't formally completed all the steps for setting up
the 60m option.  I hadn't set the menu for D19 = Y.  After I did that
then I was able to tune the VCO voltage on 40m in range (it had been
stuck at 8.0V).  So first, make sure you have done that.  If that
doesn't fix it double check to see that components (jumpers, capacitors,
resistors, etc) on the RF board that need to be removed/replaced per the
instructions.  If that still doesn't fix it recheck the 60m module for
shorts or opens (unsoldered connections).  If that fails, perhaps
putting the RF board back to the original configuration and removing the
mods for 60m to see if 40m returns to normal for you.  Oh, one other
thing I thought of, make sure that D19 & D20 are installed with the
correct orientation.
