Howard,
INFO 080 means that the AUXBUS signal (which is the one that
communicates between the various processors in the K2 and its options)
is not fully functioning.
The usual cause is a fault in one of those options. So, to
troubleshoot, remove the options one at a time (starting with the
KPA100) until things return to normal, then you can troubleshoot the
option that was removed just before the INFO 080 went away.
Once you find out which is the troublesome option we can go further with
the analysis.

I know there is information in the archives, but a search on INFO 080
revealed only 3 entries. My problem is that after a few weeks sitting
unused, by K2/100 is showing an INFO 080 error. In addition to the
error message, the unit malfunctions by not remembering settings through
on and off cycles and by transmitting uncontrolled rapid pulses when
either the left or right side of an iambic paddle is keyed. It seems
that malfunctions diminish, or disappear, when the power setting is
below 5 watts (or at least at 4.5 watts).
I suspect the KPA100 and in particular the connection between the K2 and
the KPA100 because I had this problem once before and it went away after
taking the cover off and replacing it. However, because it has
reappeared, I'm seeking all opinions on this subject.
