[Elecraft] |KX2 Deaf on 7.0

[Tony G6GLP]

Hi Don, Seasons greeting to you.
The problem is only on 40m (7.0mhz) and I suspect band pass filters as 
nothing wrong with ANT and the same result into a dummy load. When I 
press the tune the display shows 0.0 jumps to 10.0 and straight back to 
0. I am suspecting a trip to the hospital is going to be called for.
I am not sure when the factory will be back from holidays but e message 
in the queue will be dealt with as and when. I am not in a desperate 
hurry so I guess we will work it out. They all deserve holidays.
Thanks for the pointers.
