It's been a few years since I last used my K2. In firing it up, I find that I have
somehow locked the Preamp button into a stored msg mode. Everytime I try to select the Preamp I get a msg being keyed. I've gone through the manual, but can't find a way to cancel this and get my Preamp function back. Can someone clue me in on this? Tnx and 73 Bob N6WG ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |
Bob,
Two things are possibilities. 1) There is a marginal solder connection on the Front Panel board that has oxidized. Look at the soldering for RP1 and U2 as well as the rest of the board. 2) The data in EEPROM has been corrupted. To correct will require a Master Reset - BUT - that will wipe out all your menu settings including the PLL data and your filter settings. Before the Master Reset, download the K2 A to B instructions which contain a nice section for recording your settings. You will need the internal frequency counter probe. After the Master Reset, do a CAL PLL and restore all the menu settings. 73, Don W3FPR On 6/29/2017 11:31 AM, [hidden email] wrote: > It's been a few years since I last used my K2.

Bob,
I have just been reminded that you may have Fast Play set on for easy access to your K2 messages. If on, it defeats the tap function of the buttons. Turn FPLY off to restore the tap function of the buttons. See page 107 of the K2 manual. 73, Don W3FPR ---------------------------------------------------------------- Bob, Two things are possibilities. 1) There is a marginal solder connection on the Front Panel board that has oxidized.
