Ken -
Something similar happened to me when I was building my K2. In my case,
it was a bad PROM chip on the DSP unit. You didn't say whether or not
you have the DSP installed, but I suspect the same sort of problem could
occur with other modules. In my case, as I cycled through the filter
and mode settings, the K2 would act almost normal for one turn through
the options, and really weird the next time around. The tinny audio
and intermittently garbled audio were some of the symptoms my unit
exhibited before changing the chip. In my case, since the bad part was
on the DSP module, removing the module and jumpering the connections
restored the rig to normal operation. That may be something you can
check, removing an option module and temporarily bypassing it's
function, that is, to see what happens. Possible things to check: Did
you make sure every pin is soldered properly on the PROM chips, wherever
they appear? Maybe that's a clue, maybe not. I am sure others will
have additional information. Good luck!

I was taking pre-net checkins for the Central States
Traffic Net (7.253.5) when I started getting reports
as if I had a bad antenna connection. Things got worse
from there.
