[Elecraft] K-2 observation

[Don Wilhelm]

Vern,

The display has no relationship to any band.  My guess is that there is 
a bad solder connection on the front panel - unfortunately, it is 
intermittent and that makes it difficult to fine.
If it happens again, you might try re-flowing the solder on the Front 
Panel board with a hot iron (750 degF) and add just a touch of solder - 
actually all you need is the flux.

73,

After operating without troubles for a couple of years suddenly the meter display stopped showing any information, meaning there was no indication of power and no indication of even strong received signals. The rig itself was operating fine other than the meter. This didn't happen on any other band just 20 meters. I turned the rig off and back on several times with no change. Then while the rig was receiving on 20 meters the meter display came back on. It seems to be operating fine again however I thought I would ask for any advic e on what problem I might have. Thank you.
