Mr Don
I'm very happy that you answer my e-mail and thank you. Happy because the
advertising in e-bay said that you was the last person who touch this radio .
And was sell to me as in working condition.
Here is the link to ebay (sorry to take your time) to verify that the seller
was telling that the radio was working.

Anyway I'm happy to go over the trouble shooting if you can help me.
>From the first instructions that you sent to me
I connected the radio to a dummy load, and this is what happened
Radio shows Elecraft word in the display
radio shows frequency
radio shows "speed 09"
Then radio goes off

It would seem that you
have purchased a K2 that was not working as it
should. If it was advertized as a fully
working radio, you may have
recourse with
the seller for either a refund or a repair. OTOH, if the
seller did not state that it was working
properly, you may have to
investigate and
fix it yourself.
Normally,
the K2 will not go to a display of the power output - it
should come up in receive. Disconnect
everything from the K2 except for
the power
cord and the antenna connection. To help with diagnosing
the
problem, connect the K2 to a dummy
load.
If this is a K2/100
(with KPA100). connect the dummy load to the SO-239
jack. If a K2/10, connect the dummy load to
the ANT1 jack on the upper
rear panel if
the KAT2 is installed, or to the lower rear panel ANT BNC
jack if the KAT2 is not installed.
If you want to troubleshoot it
yourself, you can email me directly and I
can help. Please include the configuration
and installed options for
your K2 as well
as the serial number.

Don W3FPR

the Elecraft world. Recently I purchase in Ebay a K2
Serial 4401. The problem is that when I connect the radio
to the power and press the switch button it turn on but
immediately turns off, it shows the word elecraft, it
reads the frequency and when goes to the power display PO
and then and then goes off.
