Hello Don, yes I figured I had to have the boards separated so I did that with the power off, yes U1 is still getting hot, I looked over the solder connections and all appear to be good, a few days back I did get a scroll though of all the bands with relays clicking with band switch buttons working ok but the info 080 message has been there all the time. Now all I get is no relay clicking, info 080 message all the time and no band switching and frequency display continues to be garbled....I saw you and others had a lengthy discussion of info 080 problem at this url:

Also, Bob , N1QQP, also had the same problem with info 080 msg. and I didn't see anything in this email list indicating he got it resolved either? see url: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K2-Assembly-problem-td463441.html 73, KE4QCM Tom Fuller -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K2-Assembly-problems-Info-080-Message-tp7570609p7570697.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ 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
