[Elecraft] KX1 Transmitting Problem

[Jason Davis]

Hey Guys,

So last weekend I posted an message asking for help with my KX1.
After taking the top off, I thought I found the problem so I corrected it.
It appears I did not fix the problem for long.  Yesterday, after calling CQ
a few times, the same problem reared its ugly head again.

The problem:  The radio will sporadically transmit (almost constantly) a
series of "dahs" for no apparent reason.  After this happened last
weekend, I opened the case, and I thought the leads for the key jack ( J3 )
were not trimmed enough causing a short when the case was closed.  So I
trimmed the leads and all was well for a week.

I have had the rig for about a month now and it has operated flawlessly for
several weeks ( made several contacts ).  So it appears this problem has
developed over time.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Jason
