My K2 just started with these issues yesterday. Does anyone have any suggestion other than sending the rig to Elecraft?
When I power the K2 up, it is like it has no antenna connection (I have the KAT 100 external tuner that I use with the rig). When I also power up only a few of the letters for ELECRAFT appear on the LED Screen. Maybe 3 or 4 letters only and the S meter has three bars then a few blank and then 2 filled in. The rig sounds like it is almost muted or at times no audio. Also when I power up, the KAT 100 shows the rig in the low power position even though I have the pot set for 100 watts. It can take me about 5 to 10 minutes of turning the rig on and off until it will then function normally. Once normal it is fine unless the rig is off for about an hour. If I turn the rig off for an hour and come back to it it will not start normally and I have the same issues all over again. I have checked all of my connections into the rig especially the power connections and antenna connections. It kind of reminds me if I had an IC that was somehow failing somewhere? Thanks for the feedback! Best 73's -- Norm K9NK _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
