[Elecraft] K2 Problems

[Brent Sutphin]

I ordered a half dozen of the 1N5711 diodes  and finals for the K2 today.  I 
also ordered several of the 2n7000 transistors. I felt like there was some 
confusion last night after my original post with the nature of my problem. 
After reading my post today it was easy to understand the confusion.

When I turned it on, it came on for a few seconds then a high
current warning and then off.

I meant to say, I turned it on, it came on for a few seconds before a high 
current warning and then the radio powered down. If I turn the power off via 
the front panel power switch and back on it does the same thing again.  The 
K2 finals quickly get very hot as if they are drawing full current, all this 
in the RX mode not transmitting . I didn't attempt to transmit.

Hope this helps,
