Make and break syndrome! <smile>
Either there was a connector that was not fully mated even though you
thought it was (something fouling a thread making it appear snug) or
some oxidation/schmutz on one of the mating surfaces.
I've experienced BOTH... it is maddening for sure. That's why I now put
covers on ALL unused connector ends for cables/jumpers not actually in
use. There's a reason the military "dummy cords" a connector cover to
virtually everything. <wink>

FIXED ! This morning I went through the RF jumper cables. I didn't find any
issues after taking each one out and inspecting. So I went through all the
other Elecraft supplied cables and also found no issues. So just to be sure
I make a new set of RF jumper cables out of LMR-240. Hooked everything up
and the problem is now fixed. I then tried the jumper cables I replaced one
at a time and the problem didn't return. Go figure. So I put the new LMR-240
jumpers back on and life is once again good in kb2mland...
