Gil, OK, your K2 is rebelling from non-use - feed it some electrons once in a while <G>
On the INFO 080 situation - that is a problem caused by one of the devices (options) attached to the AUXBUS signal. Turn the manual to the troubleshooting section for problem 080 and follow through from there. On your key problem - try again. Also go into the menu and verify that you still have INP Hand. If you are not successful with that, try connecting the tip and ring together at the plug to the key - that should permit the AUTO-Detect feature to be active unless you have turned it off in the menu. 73, Don W3FPR -----Original Message----- From: Gil Stacy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, December 31, 2006 11:25 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: William Koucky; elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Straight Key issues on K2 After a couple of months of not turning on K2, it has gone goofy. Apparently goofiness caught from OP by K2. With HAND selected in INP menu, straight key properly wired, starts string of dits when contacts closed. Same key I"ve used for 4 years without a problem. Tried another, same thing. After turning on set, INFO 80 msg. appeared. Restart, msg. disappeared. Series of restarts normal. If I had to guess, bad solder joint. Unlike wine, solder joints do not get better with age. Question is, where to start? 73, Gil NN4CW K2 3104 _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
