Hello everyone here.
Last week , I posted a mail on this list , reporting a problem with my K2.
Strange behaviour , sometimes loosing all the commands on the front pannel ,
sometimes loosing RX sensitivity , and recovering it by pushing band+ and
band - , I even found the K2 in TX mod e, mode where it decided to go by
itself.
Today I opened the box , and immediatly found the problem origin :
There is a unused RS232 connector hole in the rear pannel. A mouse entered
by this hole and used the K2 as an high cost toilet. I took all the boards
off the box and started to clean them. Tomorrow I will reassemble it , and I
hope all the problems will be gone away.
So U all K2 users , U should put the connectors in the options holes to
avoid this pb.
I suggest to the Elecraft crew a new kit:
K2BUG: ultrasonic board to avoid mouses , spiders ect... :0)
