[Elecraft] K2 Problems

[Brent Sutphin]

The symptoms I explained earlier were after an electrical storm
that also took out my cable modem and wireless router.  The K2 was connected
to its antenna but was turned off at the time.  It also had the KPA100 and
KAT100 installed.  I decided to remove the KPA100 and KAT100 to see if I
still had the problem with the basic K2.  I wanted to see if the high 
current warning was
still there.  The high current warning did not come on but the power
transistors became very hot very quickly. I was not transmitting. That led 
me to believe
that the power transistors were defective. There very well could be problems
with the KPA100 as well.  Now I'm not so sure.
