I apologize in advance for the length of this post. I had been an SSB operator exclusively since I became a ham in 1982. I went QRT for 7 years, because SSB grew stale for me. A little over 3 years ago I decided to dust off my incredibly rusty/nonexistent CW skills and bought a preowned K2.

John, Do you tend to move the K-Pod frequently? If so, that could be a reason for cable or connector failure. Try holding the cable an inch or so from the connector (do that at each end). Move the cable back and forth a bit - see if that induces the fail/no-fail situation. If so, a cable

Hard to believe 20 years have gone by since I built my K2. Well, I think it's been close to 20 years. I have S/N 586. In any event, I put it on air today. Somehow it got buried behind a flurry of other late model rigs. What a pleasure to listen to the K2 receiver; signals come in like there's a
