[Elecraft] e24 error on k1 - should i worry?

[Don Wilhelm]

Sergio,

Not to worry, but you might want to check the solder joints at the
connectors you may find that one is unsoldered.  It sounds to me like the
classic situation where mechanical and electrical contact comes and goes as
something is moved around.  Terribly difficult to troubleshoot by normal
methods because it usually works when you put a probe anywhere in the
vicinity.
