[Elecraft] K2 CW - relay clicks

[Don Wilhelm]

Dave,

I am at a loss to tell you what is going on.  The T/R switching in the 
K2 is all electronic, no relays involved.
If a K2/100, break it down to just the base K2 and see if it is in the 
base K2 or in the KPA100.
If you have the K2/10, remove the top cover which contains the KAT2.

If it occurs in just the base K2, hold your finger on the relays one by 
one and see if you can detect which one is switching as you key the K2.

73,

It was powered up and one of the leads fell off the power supply connector, so this was a live power interruption.  After this, there are relay clicks when sending CW.  I did a reset, but this did not change the relay clicks.  Built the probe and did the CAL FIL routine and got it back on the air successfully.
