[Elecraft] K2 smeter not showing RF Power

[Graziano Roccon]

Hello Don,
thanks for the answer.
Maybe i did a wrong explanation and the last lines made a bit of confusion.
I was intended to say that is normal that when you are in CW, when you press the RF-/ALC button nothing happen and you get only a "BUP-TONE" back !

The problem is the during transmission the SMETER seems dead and doesn't show the RF power output, but in reception the smeter is working correctly signing the segnal streght.

We can't understand what is happening. Two days ago, everything was working fine.

Thanks a lot, Ciao, Graziano IW2NOY
