[Elecraft] [K2] frequency drifting

[Dr. Werner Furlan]

this morning I was trying a new antenna for portable use and therefore I 
turned my K2 on. When I was first listening I thought I had not connected 
the antenna because no sound came out of the radio. I switched it on and 
off and suddenly it worked. 
Then I listened to a station on 80m and suddenly it was slowly drifting 
away - I could follow it with the VFO for some seconds, then it 
disappeared completely (the radio went silent) and with a small plop it 
was there again on its original frequency. The frequency display did not 
move when this happened unless I turned the VFO. This repeated several 
times, I switched the radio on and off, no joy, but after a short time, I 
guess about half a minute or so the problem had disappeared. 
I could make QSO and everything looks ok. 
What could this be?
