[Elecraft] K2/100 and ACOM-1000

[David Powell]

I too have a K2 and Acom 1000 and have experienced the same problem. As I usually use the K2 for CW at just 100W I have done nothing to tackle the problem - I just use the Acom with my TS2000 on those rare occasions I want to run SSB.

This is a known problem - take a look at this (and the subsequent messages in the thread):

Hope that helps....
