Whoa! Is this deja vu (all over again). Maybe you missed the exchange between me and Gary a couple days ago over the same question. I suspected I was having the identical problem you are having because of some of the random button pushing that took place during the assembly of K2 sn 6281. I had forgotten the eeprom reset command and Gary was able to provide it. It worked great to clear the problem. Incidentally, the 2 in 0250.xx actually looks more like a ? without the dot, like in a K3 cw text display. Anyway . . .ready? 1. Power off. 2. press and hold keys 4 - 5 - 6 simultaneously ( I used a short pencil to do this ) and press power on. 3. you should first see INFO 201- wait around 10 seconds you should see ELECrAFt then 7100.0 c with annunciator marks as indicated in the manual. Good luck, let me know how it turns out. This does not preclude the possibility of an initial soldering problem somewhere, but eventually you'll need to do this to get back on track. 73 AL WA6VNN ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ In a message dated 3/16/2008 5:11:16 P.M.

I am on page 42 which is the Alignment and Test Part 1 section of the assembly notes. My relays all click as expected, I get the Elecraft message and then I get a message on the screen: 0250.33r and at the same time "VFO B, RIT, and XIT" are all flashing. I am expecting 7100.00c according to the book. The "0250.33r" message will change as the RIT is adjusted. --I don't see any references in the troubleshooting to this. The other weird thing is that when I turn the VFO the display does not change. The other initial tests seem fine. (Voltages, relays, etc) I am going to hold off going any further until I understand why the message does not look right for where I am in the book. Any thoughts or ideas?
