Experimenting the other day, I had used my RS232 cable to connect a Icom
Radio to my PC. When I reconnected my K2, I forgot to disconnect the
Icom. I let smoke out of the K2!.
Everything seemed to work, PC control, receive, etc. Except on
Transmit, (with Tune button) with a dummy load I have either '0' out on
low power or 148 watts on high power, nothing in between. No modulation
out.
Before I dig in, any suggestions? I tried to search for smoked
components, but nothing obvious.
Why would the RS232 port have an impact on the Transmit circuitry.
Thanks for any suggestions as a starting point.
