Nick,
Yes, but it fails when it cools again - something is not making good
contact, and it may be residue from the cleaner. I can't be certain of
that, but I would get that cleaner residue off and try again.
I would suggest that you remove the cleaner residue from the contacts
with acetone - apply it with a brush or cotton swab and immediately wipe
the area with a clean cloth of paper towel. Do only a few pins at a
time, and do not let the acetone dry on the contacts or board.
You may want to mate and unmate the front panel and RF board several
times, cleaning between each to hopefully clean some of the 'goop' out
of the female header.
If you do not have gold pins on the connector to the front panel,
consider asking Elecraft for the gold replacement pins.

Thanks Don, Guy
appreciate yours quick response.
I found out that problem disappears when front panel warms up to 37 C
and more.
Looks like problem somewhere in FP. To clean main connector I used
Electronic Contact Cleaner. It may works not so good as Deoxit which
is not widely available in Canada. In any case to move on have to buy
Deoxit first.
Thanks again
