[Elecraft] K2 receiver going temporarily deaf

Interesting, I have exactly the same problem and a couple
of dits fixes it. I've thought that perhaps it was something
having to do with the T/R switching but since you can
still hear signals, albeit weakly, I'm now inclined to think
it probably involves the preamp/attenuator. Its a tough
problem to try to debug since once it is cleared up
it doesn't recur.

Note, this doesn't happen all the time but often enough
that it is a bit annoying.
