Rich, Anytime you see the Elecraft message in the display it means that somehow the voltage supplied to the K2 has dropped significantly.
Check your power supply wiring. Use 16 guage wire or larger and be certain all the connections are tight and the connector that plugs into the K2 is properly soldered to the wires. There are a few components in the K2 that could be at fault - the series diode or resettable fuse in the +12 volt line are the prime suspects, but they seldom fail themselves - virtually all problems of that sort can be traced to a bad solder connection in the power wiring. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > > I have a weird problem.
