[Elecraft] KX2 preamp

[Randy]

Interesting Dan, I had a similar experience both with the KX2 and the 
lousy conditions here in eastern PNW (northern ID).  I was sending CQs 
with the MSG key then the "1" key.  Once the radio got real quiet and I 
saw that the preamp was off.  I think what happened was that the MSG key 
did not get pressed, although I thought I had done so, then when I 
pressed the "1" key, it was really the PRE key.  That turned the preamp 
off.  At least that is what I think happened.

Also thanks for the Q.  I didn't get very many of them so each was 
particularly memorable.

First time I thought I bumped the switch but it actually did it 2 more times. I was running 5W cw to a magloop carefully tuned to resonance as best I could tell. I’ve used this same setup a bunch and never had that happen before-any thoughts? Thanks.
