2.) Referring to the KDSP2 Manual, page 38, troubleshooting:  The middle of the page gives the following symptom (which I experience frequently): "AFIL works but I can't access DSP or clock menus when I press Display"  The manual goes on to suggest turning the K2 off then back on.  This works for me, but is there a better fix for this?  The manual also says to "let us know" if this happens frequently.  I have e-mailed Elecraft support regarding this.

I assume you mean the rtc (real-time clock).  It is on (or at least starts
out that way, with power on).  However, after some time of operation, I get
"not inst."  The DSP filters work fine-- I just can't call them up in the
menu to edit them or make changes without doing the power on/off.

So far have not heard from Elecraft support on this.

Chuck,

If you get the "not inst" message it means that the KDSP2 is not being
recognized.
The fact that it is intermittent indicates that there is a bad solder
connection somewhere.
You might try re-flowing the solder on the KDSP2 board.

Is this a recent or early KDSP2?  Is it used in a post s/n 3000 K2?   Is
there a KAT-100 attached?

Don and Lyle,

It's working!  I removed the KDSP2 module and heated up a couple of dozen
solder connections, especially at the connoectors.  While I was at it I
built the KNB2 module and installed it.  I used the audio filter un-module
from Rework Eliminators to replace the KDSP2 module while I checked out the
KNB2.  Then I reinstalled the KDSP2 and now have solid communications with
it.

Thanks to both of you for your assistance.

73,
Chuck  NI0C
