Tom,

Quite some time ago I had a problem with my K2/100's receiver, its sensitivity would sometimes get poorer on 40m after transmitting. I eventually found in my case that relay K1A's contacts had become "dirty", which can (but not often) happen with that type of relay. When you next have the problem, rather than transmitting another string of dits try switching to the next higher or lower band and back again without transmitting. If the receiver's sensitivity then returns to normal at once or after a few attempts I would suspect a relay that is in the signal path.

Please let me know how you make out.

73,

PS  Please bear with me if I am slow to answer.

but it's not a bad connector. I have also confirmed that the KAT100 is not the problem, and it occurs on SSB as well as CW. It is also not confined to
75 watts, seems to happen just about anywhere above 10 watts.

I'm just sure I read about someone else having this problem, I sure hope he
reads this.
