Interesting Dan, I had a similar experience both with the KX2 and the
lousy conditions here in eastern PNW (northern ID). I was sending CQs
with the MSG key then the "1" key. Once the radio got real quiet and I
saw that the preamp was off. I think what happened was that the MSG key
did not get pressed, although I thought I had done so, then when I
pressed the "1" key, it was really the PRE key. That turned the preamp
off. At least that is what I think happened.
Also thanks for the Q. I didn't get very many of them so each was
particularly memorable.

I was out this weekend doing the Bumblebee QRP contest (lousy conditions here
in PNW!) and a couple of times I noticed that the preamp switched itself off.
First time I thought I bumped the switch but it actually did it 2 more times. I
was running 5W cw to a magloop carefully tuned to resonance as best I could
tell. I’ve used this same setup a bunch and never had that happen before-any
thoughts? Thanks.
