[Elecraft] Problem: K2 Audio Tuning Click or Warble

[w1xt at rmcgraphics.com]

Hi Bill,

You're not completely alone!  Mine does that to a much, much lesser degree.
Noticeable as a slight warble as one tunes through a signal slowly.

My s/n is 1434 with most if not all upgrades. Firmware is current.

I'm planning to buy a new K2 in the next day or so -- one of the reasons is
to see if the problem is gone!

Anyone posting responses to Bill's questions, please be sure they are posted
here too.

Thanks,

Bob W1XT
Surprise, AZ
