Hi Gil Just try to reseat the ICs.--Processor and the EEPROM chip.
When I first built mine I didn't push them fully in then after moving / carrying the K2 around funny thiings happened .Reseat ICs and all is well. Of course You could forget to solder few joints and they may still work by contact , then later it became loose. moe MM0MRM > From: "Gil Stacy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: [Elecraft] Straight Key issues on K2 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Cc: William Koucky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, [email protected] > Message-ID: > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed > > After a couple of months of not turning on K2, it has gone goofy. > Apparently > goofiness caught from OP by K2. > With HAND selected in INP menu, straight key properly wired, starts string > of dits when contacts closed.
