[Elecraft] INFO 080

[Howard W. Ashcraft]

I know there is information in the archives, but a search on INFO 080
revealed only 3 entries.  My problem is that after a few weeks sitting
unused, by K2/100 is showing an INFO 080 error.  In addition to the
error message, the unit malfunctions by not remembering settings through
on and off cycles and by transmitting uncontrolled rapid pulses when
either the left or right side of an iambic paddle is keyed.  It seems
that malfunctions diminish, or disappear, when the power setting is
below 5 watts (or at least at 4.5 watts).

I suspect the KPA100 and in particular the connection between the K2 and
the KPA100 because I had this problem once before and it went away after
taking the cover off and replacing it.  However, because it has
reappeared, I'm seeking all opinions on this subject.

Thanks,

Howard, W1WF
