Can't save CalFil values

[Larry Clark]

Hi,
Just received by first (already built) K2.  I was
attempting to do CalFil according to N0SS'
instructions, but I am unable to save new bandwidths
in the filters.  When exiting the menu or toggling
between Xfil positions I get (first) a string of zeros
and (secondly) an info code of 230..."no frequency
counter connected to TP2."  Certainly it should
possible to set CalFil without an external frequency
counter?  Do I have to enable the internal counter to
do this?
 
TIA
 
Larry, K0RS

Larry,

Do you have the internal counter probe connected to TP2?  It MUST be
connected so the internal microprocessor can read the frequency - and that
is the meaning of the message.  It does not refer to an external frequency
counter, but rather the internal one.

You don't have to enable the internal counter in any special way, all you
have to do is plug in the counter cable (unless something is not working
correctly).
