[Elecraft] K2 trouble on the tracks

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

I'm sure our resident expert Don Wilhelm, will reply as soon as he sees the
message, but in the meantime check the resettable fuse (F1 I believe). From
what I've seen here some have failed. It sounds like your may be triggering
at a very low current level now, only allowing the brief periods of
operation before it opens, then it resets as it should after you switch off.

It's pretty easy to check with a DMM. When it opens the 12V should disappear
from one end!

My K2 was operating fine, has the SSB module the latest addition, and  
The KTA100 addition.  Has been working fine for a week since the SSB  
addition. Was on 80 meters tuning up on low power, 3 watts, and the  
lights went out.
Removed the KTA100 and SSB board on QRP with power to min, press  
start: lights for 2 to 3 sec and quits.

Where is the best place to start?

Appreciate your help.
Best regards
Dick AD1G
