[Elecraft] K2 intermittent CW fault - help!

[Solosko, Robert B (Bob)]

Michael,

	Yes, I had the mike plugged in, so that's a possibility. However, I tried reducing the power from 10 watts down to 2 watts or so and it had no affect (I don't have a KPA100). I also changed from my antenna to a dummy load, which also had no affect on the problem.  But  there could be some interaction problem with the mike PTT. The mike cable shield is connected to pin 8 on the connector, but the front panel chassis mike connector is not grounded. When this happens again, I'll remove the mike and see if that cures the problem.

	Thank and 73.

Bob, is the Mic plugged in when this happens?  /DOT-PTT is wired to the Mic input, and perhaps picks up
RF if the shield ground on J2 Mic isn't working.
