[Elecraft] K2 - intermittent probem in RX and TX

[Dr. Werner Furlan]

hi Don, 

yes it is with the base K2, and yes I sent into a dummy load. 
I'll repeat the test with a better setup (no switch between dummy load and K2/Wattmeter)
But the fact that only 80 and 40m is affected lets me suspect the issue is with the K2.

tnx a lot for your support!
