I inspected all of my solder joints and found a few pins that did not have
proper wetting. The solder was not touching the pin. I was using a different
type of solder and wanted to try it on the K2. I ended up removing all of
the solder from the pins without proper wetting and used no-clean solder
that I normally use. Now the joints look perfect. I have always used
no-clean solder without any flux at a temp of 650f and I have never had a
problem before. I guess that's what I get for using something new. 

I did get an info 80 error code when I switched to the 15m band. I turned
the power off several times to try to repeat the error but could not repeat
the code. I followed the troubleshooting procedures in the book for the info
80 code and all of the signals checked out fine. What is your opinion on
info 80 showing up once?
