Roland, I have never seen that kind of problem. It does sound like something may be corrupt in the EEPROM. You may want to try resetting the K1 to factory defaults (which wipes out your menu settings and replaces them with the stock factory defaults). Before you do that reset, record all your

With backlight on, RX current should be roughly 170 to 230 mA (no AF signal) depending on band. TX current at 5.0 W should be about 1.0-1.4 A in CW/FM/FSK-D modes and 1.4-1.8 A in SSB/AM/PSK-D/DATA-A/AFSK-A modes. Actual current will vary with band and antenna load impedance. The reason 5.0 W

FYI, streaming to the Phonak ComPilot does wear the battery down in a few hours, you can keep it plugged in to the charger while using it (provided you are not moving around, of course!). I've mentioned this on at least one other group, but will repeat it here for those who haven't heard it.
