[Elecraft] K2 #4595 - (was Almost Dead) Head Hanging in Shame

[Bill]

Ah, Yes... the radio is good, the operator error is at it again.  I work on
PCs and know the issue all to well and am just as guilty as the next guy...
the more we know the harder we fall.  Glad you found the cure... nothing
like a little power to keep the battery charged :-).

Well Bill, remember that word ASSUME? If you ASSUME you make an ASS out of
U and ME?

After Don's reply I checked thebattery switch and then started doing
voltage checks and couldn't get voltage anywhere. I put the top back on
and again and hit the power switch and I could get a slight pop sound from
the speaker. Then I looked up and my eyes fell upon the fuse holder. It
couldn't be I thought. Checked the 5 amp fuse and it was blown. Replaced
the fuse and all is well.
