[Elecraft] K2 [DISPLAY] Button

Ron,

Upon re-reading your post, the voltage you measured at U3 pin 7 is about 
what would be expected with a 13.5 volt power source.
Did you measure the U6 pin 5 voltage on the lead of the chip or at the 
socket.  If you measured at the socket, try at the chip lead because you 
may have a pin bent under the firmware chip or a bad socket connection.  
If you measure 2.633 (or 2.699) voltas on the actual microprocessor pin, 
I believe you may have a bad input on that microprocessor - all the 
display calculations are done in the firmware.

73,
Don W3FPR
