[Elecraft] K2 has occasional snap, crackle, & pop

[SNielsen3 at nc.rr.com]

Hi,  My K2/10 has an occasional bout with popping static that comes on for a minute or so, attenuates the receive signal while it is happening, then goes away.  Might come back again in a couple minutes, or not.  Was wondering if anyone has chased down a problem like this in theirs.  Radio was recently looked at, configured and aligned.  Didn't have any problems after it's checkup, until a few days later.  Radio has kat2, knb2, kio2, k160RX, ksb2, and kaf2 options installed. It did have the kbt2 installed, but I felt it was in the way, so I removed it before the last time it went in for a check up. The cure is to turn off radio, wait a few seconds, turn on again.  Does not matter the power setting or band or filters engaged, will still happen.  Steve/KI4EZL

Thank you,
