K2 is sick?

[Mike Baird]

My trusty K2 (#5767) has just started acting up.  It seems to be fine on all
bands but 40M.  On that band,  the RX seems dead, and won't tune properly
with my KAT500.  It doesn't have the built in tuner.  The 100W amp is built
in.  Other bands show full output and normal RX.  Using my other radios have
ruled out any antenna problem.

 

Anyway, any advice would be appreciated.

 

--Mike, W0RSR

Mike,

Is the problem restricted to receive?  If so (and if you have the K160RX
installed), check to see if the RXANT menu is set to ON.

The other possibility is that you have either the K60XV option or the
Rework Eliminators installed and you have the K2 secondary menu
parameter for D19 set to "n".  If you do not have either of those
conditions, it must be set to "n", but if either of those conditions are
in place, it must be set to "y".

73,
