Needing a little help/suggestion/reminder NO TX POWER

[Tony Martin W4FOA]

Morning Gang,

My K2 has been sitting idle for several weeks.  Fired it up this morning and all seemed just fine except that I note there is no LED power indication on the meter.  All else seems to  be just fine and dandy.  The power level control shows the varying power level as I increase or decrease it....just no power output apparently.  No sign of a transmitted signal on a secondary receiver.  The K2 receiver works just fine.

I'm thinking I may have inadvertantly pushed a buttom that shouldn't have been pushed?

Appreciate some guidance here....thanks in advance and since I've probably done something stupid, please forgive me, hi.

Is it possible you are in Test Mode? Try holding the VOX button until
you see the mode display (TEST or OPER). Also a flashing C on the
display indicates TEST vs a solid C to indicate OPER mode when in CW mode.

Gus,
I was getting a "flashing C"....after I turned the power off completely and
turned the K2 on again, it cleared up the problem.  I guess I inadvertantly
must have pressed the engaged the VOX button...thanks for the tip.
Kind Regards,
Tony, W4FOA
