[Elecraft] K-POD working intermitterly

[Don Wilhelm]

John,

Do you tend to move the K-Pod frequently?  If so, that could be a reason 
for cable or connector failure.

Try holding the cable an inch or so from the connector (do that at each 
end).  Move the cable back and forth a bit - see if that induces the 
fail/no-fail situation.  If so, a cable replacement is in order.
