Jumping K2------> No longer jumping

gwwhatley@juno.com
Thanks to all who responded to my former problem, which was that my K2 would shut down and bark raucusly when power was set to 12 w, or higher; while at the same time reverting to a formerly used frequency.
 
I switched to a higher capacity power supply, and have not been able to duplicate the problem.  I trust the problem is resolved.  The weaker power supply must have been shutting down momentarily upon overload, although I could not detect it through metering.  So, all is well at the moment.  The little rig did fine during the CQ WW test, to my great satisfaction.
 
And now, special thanks to my good friend Roy, W4WFB, who suggested the power supply was the culprit.  I have dubbed him my Elecraft Wizard.  He is one of Elecraft's biggest boosters, and it was because of his love for K2s that I bought #4758 in the first place.
 
It is amazing how much help is available on the reflector, and how quickly it comes.  Thanks again, everyone.
 
73, George, n4ym
