[Elecraft] It Works, but "Not Inst" Message

[Christian Adamec]

Hello,

Well, I got up to the power on test for K2 #4718 and it worked! Very 
exciting. Prior to this, the only electronics that I had built were 
Elecraft's noise generator and test oscilator, which I plan to use with 
the K2.

The issue, though, is that when I tap the menu button or the display 
button, "not inst" will flash for a second before the menu is 
displayed. All tests checked out after power up, except the keyer, 
since I don't have a paddle. Let me add that at this point, I am 
missing one pushbutton switch, S16, which I am waiting on a replacement 
for.

Is this message a problem or something to worry about? Like I said, 
everything seems to be working just fine, except for this message that 
flashes occaisionally. I couldn't find anything in the manual regarding 
this.

Thanks,
Chris KC9GSV
