Similar thing happened to my K2 last time during CQWW CW. And it has happened occasionally before. Also some other OH-elecrafters report same issue. I thought I have some soldering issue, but after reheating RF-board several times and re-doing suspect toroids, it still happens sometimes. Power cycle, band change, preamp/att cycling or small tap to case brings it alive. S-meter shows signal level, but audio fades away.
I think some of us would be glad to hear how it can be cured.

Siihen tuli tänä aamuna yksi vastaus:
Jukka,
It sounds as thought he VFO has gone out of range. I forget what the voltage
range is supposed to be but you might refer to the manual and measure the
voltage of the VFO (synthesizer vfo control voltage) to see if it is where
Elecraft wants it. It sounds from your description as though the
synthesizer becomes "unlocked".

Elikkä pitää tarkistaa tuo jännite. Muistelen että siinä olisi ollut jotain outoa rakentaessa, mutta siitä on jo liikaa aikaa.
73 ja hyvää itsenäisyyspäivää!

p.s. muutama perinneasema lokissa...ei riittänyt kärsivällisyys odottaa kuson loppumista, jotta olisi sanut vuoron kutsua
