[Elecraft] My KX2 may be sick

[Walter Underwood]

Look up “ERR KEY” in the Troubleshooting section of your KX2 manual. 

In my KX3 manual, it says this:

“Usually caused by an incorrect setting of MENU:MIC
BTN for the current microphone, or an external device
shorting the KEY or PTT line to ground, or a shorted
KXPD3 keyer paddle. Turn power off, then disconnect the
KXPD3 (if applicable) and everything plugged into the
left side panel, except for the power supply. Turn power
back on. Plug devices back in one at a time to see which
one caused the error.”

It seemed to be ok but shut down again a few minutes later. It has done the same thing twice this morning. A cheep led volt meter reads that the power supply drops to 13.6 volts while transmitting. What the heck do I need to look for or is my radio number 855  wanting a roadtrip to the home factory?
