[Elecraft] INFO 080

[Don Wilhelm]

Howard,

INFO 080 means that the AUXBUS signal (which is the one that 
communicates between the various processors in the K2 and its options) 
is not fully functioning.

The usual cause is a fault in one of those options.  So, to 
troubleshoot, remove the options one at a time (starting with the 
KPA100) until things return to normal, then you can troubleshoot the 
option that was removed just before the INFO 080 went away.

Once you find out which is the troublesome option we can go further with 
the analysis.

73,
