[Elecraft] K2 Initial Tests

After my tilt-bail struggle, I moved on the the initial test of the K2 with 
mixed results:

After setting all pots to the recommended positions, I started up the K2 and 
all went according to the manual.  I got the INFO 201 followed by the 
frequency (7100.00C).
After restart, the Elecraft logo came on and then the frequency as expected. 
Intermittantly, however, "P 14.8" kept coming up alternating with the 
frequency display.  I could only make this stop by increasing the power away 
from minimum.  In addition, tapping the display button had no efffect at 
all.  The encoder test went fine, with the frequency changing nicely.  I 
noticed that the keyer knob changed the keyer speed, but so did the power 
knob when I rotated it.  The power reading also changed.

I will keep looking but would appreciate any ideas.
Thanks
