[Elecraft] K2 suddenly stops RX while on 160

[Steve Jackson]

Gee, it's been almost eight years of nearly continuous, flawless operation!  

But my K2 --just now-- decided to stop working on 160.

I was doing a little S&P, looking for mults in the contest, and all of a sudden, the receiver stopped working. 

 Doesn't transmit, either.

It's fine on other bands, and comes back for a few minutes when I power-cycle the radio, or when I change bands
momentarily.  Then it quits again, after a minute or so.  Just sort of fades out.

VFO shows it's trying to tune while it's out to lunch, but nothing happens.

Of course, I can fix it, but before I go and start, anybody else ever see this happen?

tnx
