Low receiver sensitivity

Hi,

I recently assembled and XG1 calibrator and began checking some of my equipment.  4 out of 5 radios that I own indicated an S9 signal, however, my K2 did not.  It registered an S5-S6.  A friend of mine who borrowed my K2 indicated the receiver seemed to be a bit weak.

I tweaked L34 (which was set properly) and tried peaking L1 and L2, which were also set properly.

I'm wondering if I'm missing something simple before I begin to check some other items.  The receiver appears to work properly in all other respects and to be truthful, I hadn't noticed it being a bit weak, but upon comparing it with an A/B switch, it lacks some sensitivity.

Thanks in advance for any pointers.
