Mr Don I'm very happy that you answer my e-mail and thank you. Happy because the advertising in e-bay said that you was the last person who touch this radio . And was sell to me as in working condition.
Here is the link to ebay (sorry to take your time) to verify that the seller was telling that the radio was working. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Elecraft-K2-with-many-extras-recently-serviced-/111694399577?nma=true&si=ULe%252FnRYPyw4ApLB34OfmsvNuQv4%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Anyway I'm happy to go over the trouble shooting if you can help me. >From the first instructions that you sent to me.... I connected the radio to a dummy load, and this is what happened Radio shows Elecraft word in the display radio shows frequency radio shows "speed 09" Then radio goes off Regards KP4LE -------------------------------------------- On Tue, 7/7/15, Don Wilhelm <w3...@embarqmail.com> wrote: Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Need Help with my K2 did not turn on To: "Mauricio Fernandez" <mauriciof...@yahoo.com>, "Elecraft Reflector" <elecraft@mailman.qth.net> Date: Tuesday, July 7, 2015, 9:26 PM It would seem that you have purchased a K2 that was not working as it should. If it was advertized as a fully working radio, you may have recourse with the seller for either a refund or a repair. OTOH, if the seller did not state that it was working properly, you may have to investigate and fix it yourself. Normally, the K2 will not go to a display of the power output - it should come up in receive. Disconnect everything from the K2 except for the power cord and the antenna connection. To help with diagnosing the problem, connect the K2 to a dummy load. If this is a K2/100 (with KPA100). connect the dummy load to the SO-239 jack. If a K2/10, connect the dummy load to the ANT1 jack on the upper rear panel if the KAT2 is installed, or to the lower rear panel ANT BNC jack if the KAT2 is not installed. If you want to troubleshoot it yourself, you can email me directly and I can help. Please include the configuration and installed options for your K2 as well as the serial number. 73, Don W3FPR On 7/7/2015 6:08 PM, Mauricio Fernandez via Elecraft wrote: > Hello > > I'm just new in the Elecraft world. Recently I purchase in Ebay a K2 Serial 4401. The problem is that when I connect the radio to the power and press the switch button it turn on but immediately turns off, it shows the word elecraft, it reads the frequency and when goes to the power display PO and then and then goes off. > > ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
