[Elecraft] K2 frequency runaway

[Don Wilhelm]

Eddi,
The one thing that comes to my mind is that you may not have the knob
snugged against the felt washer quite enough.  The clue I am concentrating
on is that it happened when using the straight key, but not with the
paddles.  Try 'drumming' on the desk with your fingers a bit and see if you
can get the frequency to change with that kind of mechanical vibration.  If
you do, move the knob a wee bit closer to the panel so the felt washer gives
a bit more frictional drag.
