Hi Mike, For clarification, when this happens there is no longer any RF output. And it only happens when I speak into the mike or key the rig while in SSB mode. It does not happen if I am in CW mode.
Tnx for the suggestions. I will post what I find that corrects the problem once I get it fixed. 73, N2TK, Tony -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of AD6XY - Mike Sent: Saturday, February 02, 2008 4:05 AM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K2 - hang up problem Fixing it by changing bands and weak reception afterwards is the key to this. No SSB is also a clue. I would say you have a problem in the switching between TX and RX. It is not the RF side of things (e.g. switching diodes) as it would not reset, it must be in the control signals. Somehow the +TX and +RX control lines are not doing what they should be. The fact that is does still TX OK probably means the +TX line is fine. I would concentrate on the +RX line. Also look for any bad contacts or short circuits. This could also be a software glitch, and a full reset to factory defaults may clear it up.
