[Elecraft] K1 keyer problem

[Don Wilhelm]

Ken,

The K1 determines dot or dash by the voltage on the KEYIN line.  If the 
soldering of RP5 and R19 and R20 is faulty, the K1 will be confused 
between dots and dashes.  Re-flow the soldering of those components with 
a hot soldering iron (750 degF).

73,
