[Elecraft] K2 receiver going temporarily deaf

[Mike McCoy]

That's why the first thing I did (after checking if I was on ANT1 or ANT2 ;)
was to eliminate ALL jumpers, accessories, etc.... to eliminate any/all
'variables' in the mix.

While it was 'deaf' I then connected each antenna feedline directly to the
K2 BNC. Via a PL-259/BNC adapter of course but I even tried different
adapters just in case.  It remained deaf on both antennas.  For a while
anyway... then it seemed to have healed itself.

Now that's what I call some good MoJo!  :)
