Don, Thanks for the reply. My K2 is just the bare bones transceiver, with no options added and I hadnt changed any of the default options. I did change the 8R Hold parameter to 'Hold' which I think was its original setting. I also had some voltage checks to make following advice from Gary at Elecraft support, all of which were within limits. In any event the problem seems to have resolved, and I would thank you for your help. Interestingly I have not been able to recreate the fault by reversing the 8R Hold parameter. I hope I didnt just disturb a bad solder joint enough to make it good doing the voltage checks, as that might mean it will recur at some time in the future...
