[Elecraft] Re: K2 Audio

Hi Ron,

I did the 456 reset and linearised the PLL and reset my FIL settings.  The
problem - distorted tx audio - was resolved... but I don't trust temporary
problems.

My mind isn't made up about this K2 thing.  I have nothing to compare it to
but I've had a couple of issues that  I have been able to resolved by doing
the 456 reset thing.

For instance, I've had the rig running it for 6 weeks now.  In the first
week I had low audio (456 - reset).  In the third week I had no transmit
(456 - reset).  I've checked all my joints, parts, nobs, spindals and coils.
I've jumped on it, kicked it, drowned it and kissed it - even ran thru a
church naked with it to exorcise any demons inside it.

So now I figure I have another 2 weeks before the next jack jumps out of
this K2 box.

Regards,

Dave
