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. Rgds Andy Pevy G4XYW A future K2 owner (when the company bonus

Stewart, You may want to monitor the state of '8R', '8T', and 'MUTE' signals in the K2 during such occurrances. That may give you a bit of information about where to begin looking for the source of the problem. 73, Don W3FPR - Original Message - From: Stewart Baker [EMAIL
