K2: Problem with new build? Buttons and encoder are dead

N0SA
I am building a new K2 and have run into a problem.
When I do my initial power on testing I get the Elecraft message then 7.1000 and the realys click. But none
of my front panel buttons nor the encoder work.
What should I look for first?
I have double checked all my solder connections and all the parts are installed up to this point.

If the power control, but not the speed control, works, I would say the
probable cause is that the transmitter is keyed.

If both controls work, it might be a key stuck down, or a faulty key
decode input or key scan output, although, in most cases it looks like
you do get side effects when you push extra keys.


Please try and fix your email prgram so that it doesn't spew!
