I just plugged in my rig and was getting ready to operate this evening when something horrible happened.
I have a serial to USB cable which I use for rig control (between the KPA100 and my laptop). I notice that when I plugged it in there was a spark (at the computer end). Probably static charge from the fact that I operate on a carpeted floor. I didn't think any more about it. Next, I go upstairs to get my headphones (since my speaker isn't working) and when I come down I smell a horrible burning smell and my rig is keying CW (even though the key is open) and I can't stop it. I unplugged the rig and removed power, then tried again, but got the same result. Where do I even begin? :-( Thanks. -john ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
