[Elecraft] K2– loss of sensitivity

[Dale Putnam]

I wonder... if the connections are bright and solid... sometimes the poor connection to a battery will do this, under low current draw,(during rx) causing the voltage seen by the load to be under spec. Connections to the battery and radio.

Have a great day,
