K2 Alignment Part I

[Gerard Provoost]

Hi Folks,

I have a strange behaviour with my K2 #6026 in the alignment and test
procedure at page 43 of the manual. All went ok, untill after power up I
tapped Display, the display said St L 040 and stayed in that menu, untill I
tapped Menu, then everything was normal and stayed normal - untill next
power up. I tried to reset the EEPROM, by powering up with 4+5+6 held, but
this had no effect. It seems nothing is reset. All other tests went ok.
I checked and rechecked soldering.
If anyone has an idea, please.

73, Gerard PA1GP

Gerard,

If you had ST L come up when you tapped the DISPLAY button, that is
abnormal behavior, and is an indication that the pushbutton matrix is
not being properly decoded.

Check the soldering on the Front Panel Board carefully.  Reflow the
soldering with a hot soldering iron if necessary.

A master reset is not likely to help.
