Thank you everybody for pointing out the very obvious source of my problem. I had read about what can happen with low quality power supplies. ----------------------------------------------------------- I think it's "QOOPS" <g>. It's not a sign of a "low quality" supply at all, but merely one that has a transformer in it. The "cheap" supplies to watch out for are the low-cost "switching" supplies. They have a very small transformer that won't out put much of a magnetic field to bother the K2, but have a tendency to generate a lot of RF interference across the band. (High quality switching supplies don't do either) A "linear" supply using a sizeable transformer working at the 60 Hz mains frequency does not produce RF interference, but does produce a large magnetic field that can cause some problems like you experienced. My big linear Astron sits on a stool under the operating desk where it doesn't clutter up the operating table and where it's well away from the rig.
