When sending CW with AFX on I'm getting a pop on every dit and dah on the left audio channel only. I hear it on my external stereo speakers and on my headphones. It doesn't occur with AFX off. I couldn't find this in the archives. Anyone else experience this? Thanks - Will -- View this message

I wanted to update everyone on what I did. I followed Don's advice (again) and moved the turns on L1. I ended up moving the bottom end of the L1 frequency FROM 3090 to 3069. This gave me the desired coverage on 40 but at the cost of some of 30. For now I am content with that as I don't use

Hi Lyle, I hear the pops on AFX modes 1 - 5, but less pronounced on 1. I don't hear them on bin. Keyer speed is 18wpm. The band is not noisy - about S3. I'm using version 3.79. Thanks, Will -- View this message in context:

Mike, The symptom of not being able to do anything from the front panel is usually an indication that it is attempting to transmit as soon as power is applied. The simple thing that can cause a transmit condition is a closed key (or PTT). Remove anything from the micophone jack, remove

Mike, My K2/100 #3255 behaved in exactly the same way some years ago, actually on two occasions about a year apart. The problem was caused by dirt or corrosion on the contacts of the socket of the MCU U6 on the Control board. Pulling and reseating the U6 IC cured the problem on each occasion.
