When a K2 stops working when the mic is connected, then this sounds as if the 5
Volt in the mic connector is being shorted.
This will take out several vital functions on the front panel/control boards. I
would check the mic's plug.

Gary,
If the same problem happens again, try removing the Control Board MCU U6
from its socket, and then putting the IC back into its socket. I had the
same problem twice, once a couple of years after building the K2 and again
about a year later, although the power level control did not work
Lots of learning ... even if trivial ... fallout from
my question about the slashed zero. I've had a
number of off-reflector requests for the font(s).
BTW, several of them have the zero with a center
dot instead of a slash.

Gary,
Is the frozen state possibly the K2 in transmit?
A ground on the PTT line will put the K2 into transmit and lock the frequency
display and disable most of the front panel controls with the exception of
the power control.

I plan to use my K3 10 Watt (when it arrives) for some QRP QRSS 3 or 10 at

external cooling?

I'd sure like to have it. I've searched the reflector archives with no

As a high speed radio CW operator in the Army I was trained to slash a
circle. No one said it was a slashed zero or a slashed letter 'O'. The
shape was not important as long as the slash was there. We also slashed the
letter 'Z' to distinguish it from the number '2', but as I have seen many

EBCDIC!!! Aaaahh!
Back in the early 1970s, some of our online data equipment had to be able to

Leigh,
Please remember the absolute minimum voltage required is 11V. It's very
possible your batteries dropped below this while running 50W. The K3 is not
as efficient at that power as it is at 100W. Next time try dropping power
to about 10-15W. It should be easier on the batteries and still
Those numbers are big ... Congratulations to Eric, Wayne and
the rest of the development team. To combine the best close
spaced dynamic range (by a wide margin), ultimate sensitivity

How about my asking this question from the other end... I know that the max
voltage specified for the K3 is 15V but what about 16? If the V knob on my
astron got accidentally bumped it would max out at 16 unless I go inside and
crank that down. But at times I've needed 16 so I'd like to leave
