[Elecraft] Problem SOLVED! KIO2 sends out to pc but doesn't take commands from pc

[james1787 at aol.com]

The replacement L1 arrived today! For everyone reading, the problem 
turned out to be a small sliver of wire jammed underneath pins 3 and 5 
of the AUX2 PCBoard. It was actually under the plastic part of the 
connector that plugs onto the K2 control board. I broke L1 in the 
process of discovering this.

Today I soldered in the new L1, booted up the computer and and tried 
out the software: "K2 not detected" read the message. "Oh no.. what 
now?" I thought.. I looked down - The cable wasn't plugged in yet to 
the back of my K2. In all my excitement to solve the problem I kinda 
missed that, whoops..

I plugged the cable in, started the software up and voila!! I see on 
the screen what my k2 has on display! Clicking up/down band on the 
computer I hear the relays change - music to my ears... my KIO2 WORKS!!

Thanks to Gary AB7MY at elecraft support and Don W3FPR for all your 
help!

73,
