I have an issue on 30m receive only. When I transmit on 30m I get
full power, and it receives normal, but after a while it loses most
of its sensitivity. Transmit again and it will hear the other side
of the earth. I have noticed that once it goes partially deaf I can
get a High Curr indication on the first dash I send, but after that
it puts out full power with no complaints and of course after every
transmission it is that beautiful K2 receive.
Check the 30m feed line, connectors, etc. Also test it into a dummy
load. Although you might have some difficulty determining receive
sensitivity, you'll notice if you get the Hi Curr indication. Maybe the
problem isn't actually in the K2! Poor contact in coax connectors often
looks like this.
