John, I get more 'right answers' the more I work on these radios, AND if I think I MIGHT be wrong I try to keep my mouth shut :-) .
I suspect the burning smell may have come from the base K2 PA transistors - that is the usual cause. If you are operating at only 5 watts for QRP, you may not notice if only one transistor went out. Try 10 watts and see what happens - if that is OK, then conclude that something just overheated but is now fine. 73, Don W3FPR On 1/22/2011 10:30 AM, John Shadle wrote: > Don, > How are you always right? ;-) > > I checked the key and there was definitely a bad connection there. > Things *appear* to be working just fine.
