[Elecraft] K2 #4595 - Almost Dead

[Don Wilhelm]

Ed,

You will have to open the cover and make some measurements before we can 
comment further, but about all we can say right now is that you have a 
problem somewhere in the power supply circuits or the voltage regulators.

Do some DC voltage measurements as indicated in the troubleshooting 
section of the manual - if that does not reveal the cause, we can help 
further.

73,
