[Elecraft] Please Help - K2 Loss of SSB Transmit

Mike,
Have you tried another microphone?
If the rig checks out ok with another microphone, check the PTT switch in the MH2, mines a bit 'ordinary' and occasionally does not make contact when the PTT button is pressed.

  Hi,

  My K2 seems to have lost power out in SSB mode. As far as I can tell, 
  the RX is still working OK in all modes. The inbuilt ATU seems to tune 
  OK and there is power out in CW. When I hold the MH2 PTT in, there is no 
  "click", but the RX goes silent, the RF/ALC display stays blank in both 
  RF and ALC modes ie there are no bars when I speak or whistle into the mike.

  Any suggestions would be appreciated.
