Craig,

I am fairly certain that you will find an unsoldered connection.  Those 
things can work for a year or more and then all of a sudden, the amount 
of oxidation begins to increase and you have intermittent operation.

Look in the genreral vicinity of the area where the tapping was more 
effective.

These taps became more frequent.  I also noticed that the K2 would not transmit at these times.  Finally, about a week ago it quit.  Where should I look, or what should I do to get the rig back on the air?
