[Elecraft] Minor problem or K2 design quirk?

[Don Wilhelm]

Ken,

I can only guess, but that kind of behavior strongly suggests an
intermittent connection (read = bad solder joint) somewhere.  I only know of
one other person who leaves their K2 powered on all the time - and Steve
follows this reflector, so perhaps he will provide his experience.

73,
