[Elecraft] Frozen K2

[Tom Althoff]

Rolf...how is your K2 normally configured?   Do you keep the key input set
to normal/reverse keyer paddle input or Handkey?

If you normally run a straight key, bug or external keyer then yes a
possible short in the keying line would explain your symptoms.

But if you normally use the internal keyer and the keying line was shorted
you should be hearing either dits or dahs constantly.

A stuck keyswitch on power up would lock up all buttons but not generate a
tone.

Sorry I can't be more helpful.
