I have just finished my second K1. It seems to have an intermittent and apparently temperature sensitive problem.
Symptoms are: on power up, the yellow LED turns on and stays there. If the room temp is fairly low, heating the back of the front panel (and consequentially the RF board) causes it to resume normal power up, and then everything is normal. Cooling it down does NOT cause a failure. Normal power up sequence is a quick blink of the Yellow LED, followed by a longer blink of the same LED then the RED Green then freq display. On Failure, there is NO blink, just steady yellow. Can anyone lead me thru the power up diagnostic and just what is happening that SHOULD cause the Yellow led to turn off initially? I don't even know where in the circuitry start! When this K1 completes it's power up, it works flawlessly! It only fails at power up. It also seems to work OK if VERY cold, or at normal room temp.
