[Elecraft] K1 TX Problem: TX continuosly keyed -- help needed

[Rolf G. Schroeder]

Hi,
has anybody ever experienced a continuosly keyed K1? When hand or
elecrtrocnic keyer is selected, the K1 is keyed and when in hand key
mode the only way to stop transmitting is switch off the transceiver.
The k1 does not start automatically to transmit after switching it on,
I have to key the K1.=20

An addtional fault is: it is impossible to switch to tune mode, the
transmitter immediately stops transmitting.=20

If the RF-Filters are misaligned everything is functioning as normal,
keying and switching to tune mode are functionning as they should
according to the manual. Same is true if the Filter board is not
inserted.=20

To me it looks like stray HF but I don't have a clue where to look for
it - is there anybody out there who knows?
