Anyone have this experience. I went to turn on the rig to make a few QSOs.
It came on as usual but only stayed on for 5 sec. then cut off. I let it sit
for a min and turned it back on and samething. I thought perhaps my astron

Just when you think you have seen everything, something comes along and bites
you in the b*m.
Having completed yet another mod to my K2, I put it back into it's rightful
place on the operating desk, connected the KAT100/KPA100, PSU, desk microphone,
computer leads, and then switched on.

I brought the +8V rail from the RF board up to a two-pin jumper. I then
plug this in to once side of the Mic jumper block

This is a problem I have come across before

The Auxbus connection between the RF board and front panel is unused. You could

Hi Stewart
Try Rather than directly connecting the decoupling cap to the 5v
supply, try
feeding it via a 100 ohm (or so) resistor. at 1ma you will only drop .1 v
but you have created a low pass filter for the noise.

I think that I have found the problem, but have yet to work out a solution.
To combat the lack of TX audio system gain I have a 1 transistor pre-amp mounted
on the microphone header plug on the front panel board. This gives about 9dB of
gain which provides sufficient audio for the compressor IC an
I have had a problem similar to this. Occasionally when through
talking the K2 does not return in the full receive mode. The rig seems to
be muted. I found early on that by quickly tapping the PTT button that
the receiver returns to full volume. Could possibly be a sticking relay
in my amp.

I am wondering if any other K2 user has experienced the following.

VERY occasionally I get the my K2 stuck on what seems to be transmit.
If I press the MODE button to select the VOX function the display shows SPCH
0.2
then returns to the frequency display with
16 matches
