Colin,
My K2 #3255 shut down one day when about 2-1/2 years old leaving the display
showing the frequency last used, but none of the front panel controls
functioning except the power ON-OFF switch. After an overnight rest all was
well. Eventually I found the problem to be caused by the socket of the
Control Board MCU, perhaps a bit of corrosion, and later I replaced the
socket with a turned pin type for a lasting solution.
73,

I am a new owner of an early K2 with Seriel No 638. Initialy rig worked
fine, but now a random fault is occuring .
I hear a couple of relay clicks (sometimes more) and the display rapidly
changes and when stops, the message E137 0.26 or E138 0.26 is usualy
given. On one occasion the display was left with St L 071. On other
occasionns the display just appears random. Are these error codes, and if
so could anyone give me their meaning. The push buttons are
non-functional and I can only get back to operation by switching OFF , and
then ON.
To me, the symptoms are similar to my early computer experiences, when
the computer went south. Any recommendations for trouble shooting would
be appreciated.
The last point is that the problem is chronic during warm up. After 15 to
20 mins the problem is either gone or significantly reduced in magnitude.
Thank you, Colin M3WCK
