[Elecraft] new K2

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Bob, you have a number of symptoms that may or may not be related.=20

First, is the rig anywhere near a large motor or power transformer
(including your power supply)? The AC fields around big transformers =
will
modulate the K2 and cause rough notes... if bad enough I suppose it =
could
cause some of the other problems by modulating the PLL reference =
oscillator
enough to cause the PLL to lose lock.=20

So, first, make sure the rig is a couple of feet from any large =
transformers
and see how it acts.

I just finished a QSO with a 597 RST.  Receive note is rough too.  Power
output is not stable (jumps up to >10W when set at lower level).  =
Sometimes,
it quits on 80/40/30 but not other bands.  Are there archives of =
problems
somewhere - maybe I can find some ideas?  Anyone with a quick idea?

Thanks  Bob  KX1E
