I don't yet, but I was considering leaving mine on 24/7 with some self-written software to scan a few beacon frequencies looking for band openings. I'm therefore also interested to hear how I might be affecting the life expectancy of the rig. I'd probably be band-changing more often than most of the other 24/7 K2s too, so any info on the expected lifetime of the relays would also be much appreciated. -- Nosey Nick Waterman, G7RZQ, K2 #5209. use Std::Disclaimer;[EMAIL PROTECTED] You never find the what you want, until you replace it. ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

[Elecraft] Minor problem or K2 design quirk?
For the last 6 months, K2 #4913 has performed almost flawlessly - almost. Several times, I've returned to the shack and turned up the AF gain to find that the XFIL setting had changed. See, I never turn 4913 off - I just put all the controls and filters to a default setting, stow the mic and paddles then turn the AF gain down all the way. It's an old habit So, I come back to the shack to find XFIL set to 1 yet the rx audio is very narrow. Cycling through the XFIL selections, returning to #1, restores the audio. This has happened about 4 or 5 times since March. Anyone with a guess? Ken KG0WX K2 #4913, XG2, Tenna Dipper, HLA-150 _ On the road to retirement?

RE: [Elecraft] Minor problem or K2 design quirk?
Ken, I can only guess, but that kind of behavior strongly suggests an intermittent connection (read = bad solder joint) somewhere.
