My K2/100 #1130 has developed an odd instability. When first turned on, the
receiver seems unable to "lock on" frequency, so that CW signals have a
warble to them. After a few seconds to a minute or more, the receiver
stabilizes. The instability returns after each band change and often occurs
when I change the XFIL setting. I don't know if this condition manifests
itself in the transmitted signal.
I need to take the unit apart to check mechanical/electrical connections
prior to my using it as my mobile rig in the Wisconsin QSO Party this coming
Sunday.
Do any of you kind souls have an idea where I should concentrate my
trouble-shooting efforts? I receive postings in digest mode, so direct
e-mail as well as posts to the reflector would be most appreciated.
I'll endeavor to inform the group of the outcome.
Best regards,
Todd
