[Elecraft] Transmitting on Power up

[n9bx at mchsi.com]

Hello;

New to list and just at alignment and test part III, page 74.  I have been 
getting exceleent suggestions from Gary at Elecraft but was wondering if any of 
you had any similiar problems.

When I power up to do the test on Page 74 My rig is keyed up.  Power output is 
4 watts.  Even when I reset using 456 at power up, same thing.  Another Ham 
Chuch had diode d1 in the TR switch backwards that produced this same problem, 
I checked mine and all is well.  Up to this point all alignment and tests 
worked perfectly, and assembly smoothly.  

I am using Torroids from the torrid Guy.

I know that I will have to go back and set everthing else back up since I did a 
reset but this power output thing is preventing that.  

I also do not have the key closed on the Transcceiver and have measured the 
required 84K to ground to verify that this is so.

Curious though if I hit the XFIL button to so to FL2, 3 or 4,  The rig acts 
normally and all functions work and the power output stops, and the rig works 
peerfectly.  But when reset and it goes to startup I see Elecraft for 2 
seconds, followed by the keyer speed and PO=0.1  even though the power output 
is 4 watts at this stage.

Any help would sure be wonderful

thanks to all
