Re: [Elecraft] K2# 1068 stuck in keydown!
Bill Allen wrote on Friday, April 21, 2006 2:31 AM Hey gang, I seem to have a K2 that is stuck in key down (i.e. xmit). When I turn the radio on all I get is the ELECrAFt message, that relays cycle normal, and then a frequency. No front panel controls work except the power knob and it is obvious that I am transmitting and the finals start heating up. What do I need to check or do Any and all help appreciated! Yes, I have turned it off... -- I had a similar problem with the K2 getting stuck in receive, not transmit. In my case the cause was poor contact between one or more pins of the Control Board MCU U6 and its socket, perhaps due to corrosion. Removing U6 and plugging it back into its socket cured the problem. Later I changed the socket to a turned pin type (not fun) for peace of mind! 73, Geoff GM4ESD ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Unplug the key and microphone. I think its something simple like that, I do recall seeing that problem mentioned before. 73/72 - Mike WA8BXN ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Mike, Key and Mike are unplugged. At first I thought, I have got something bumped into my key. But I have everything unplugged. Same problem. 73, Bill - WA5PB -Original Message- From: Mike WA8BXN [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 20, 2006 8:55 PM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K2# 1068 stuck in keydown!
