Robert,

Find the unsoldered connection.  It is somewhere.  Contact was present when
everything worked before, but has now moved loose.

Work on receive first, then after that is working try the transmit section.
Careful examination of the T/R switch area is a good starting place. Also 
check the Low PAss Filters and the antenna jack, but the unsoldered 
connection could be most anywhere.

I just finished K2 #4498. it was running all test in good condx and Rx and
Tx where in the specs.
I let it in stand by this morning on 7 Mhz and sudenly I read HiCur on and
off. I put down the power level and I still got HiCur any time I close the
keyer or put it in Tune. Power level = 0 in display I = 2.45 A. with curent
limit set @ 2.5 A, whenever I key it in tune or with the keyer.
First suspects the two 2SC1969. removed and changed for 2 others. No change
!

And I forget the principal : reception is gone !!!

So please help !!! I will accept any informations !

F5UL/Robert
