Hello,

I would like to thank everyone for responding. Unfortunately, I still do not have this problem solved. Very frustrating! After some more poking around, here is what I can say about this. It only happens when I press 'Menu', not when pressing 'Display'. It is intermittent, although it happens more often than not. After pressing 'NB', it seems to go away for a while. I have checked all my soldering on each board. I could not find any solder bridges anywhere, nor any globs of solder not on a pad. I checked the direction of all diodes and the are all correct. Hmmmm...

Thanks,
Chris KC9GSV

Chris,

It was a while back, but I think I had this same issue. The problem turned out to be a diode installed backwards on the control board.

Hello,

Well, I got up to the power on test for K2 #4718 and it worked! Very exciting. Prior to this, the only electronics that I had built were Elecraft's noise generator and test oscilator, which I plan to use with the K2.

The issue, though, is that when I tap the menu button or the display button, "not inst" will flash for a second before the menu is displayed. All tests checked out after power up, except the keyer, since I don't have a paddle. Let me add that at this point, I am missing one pushbutton switch, S16, which I am waiting on a replacement for.

Is this message a problem or something to worry about? Like I said, everything seems to be working just fine, except for this message that flashes occaisionally. I couldn't find anything in the manual regarding this.

Thanks,
Chris KC9GSV
