Tim: I'm no K2 guru, but what you describe is classic of a poor/intermittent connection somewhere on the way to the antenna. I've experienced this with many radios, going back many decades. The "dit" (transmitting) somehow reestablishes a better connection at the point of failure.
This might be at any coax connector (from the back of the radio all the up to the antenna). Try tracing your coax and connections along the way. Open up all contact points and "clean" them up (emery cloth, board, your favorite contact cleaner, etc). At the antenna (and elsewhere too), be sure your connections are not only clean, but tight. I'll leave the suggestions for what to "trace for" inside the K2 up to the K2-masters. de Doug KR2Q _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
