KX2 Zero Power Out

K6YXH
My KX2 has zero power out. It just stopped working one day. No idea why -
it's running off a a LiFePO4 battery. Power is set to 5W. Antenna tuner
bypassed. Running into a dummy load. Does it on all bands. VOX on, CW, but
not even .1 W out to my Elecraft W1 Power Meter. Time to ask Elecraft for
help or send it in? 73, Norm K6YXH

Re: KX2 Zero Power Out

Mess with the mic gain a bit, key it to see what happens.  I ran into this
a month ago on 10m only and it did it after changing bands to 10m.  I can
consistently duplicate the problem, too.  After changing bands to 10m, if i
mess with the mic gain, it starts outputting again - even when I put the
gain back to where I started with.
