Flashing "F" mode indicator

[Chris Kimball]

Somehow, I've pushed a wrong button, causing a flashing. capital "F" to appear alternatively with the operating mode "c".  Hopefully, the K2 isn't about to self-destruct.

My K2 is S/N 4913 with a lot of options.

Thanks,

Hi Chris,

You've gotten the K2 into "fast-play" mode, which allows one-tap  
message play with a subset of the numeric keypad switches. (Normally  
you have to tap MSG first.)

Getting into fast-play mode requires that PF1 or PF2 be assigned to  
the "FPon" menu entry. You then hold PF1 or PF2 to turn fast-play on/
off. Try holding each of these switches to see which one turns fast-
play back off. Then re-assign the switch to some other menu entry --  
unless you plan to use fast-play.

73,
Wayne

Thanks, Wayne!

Is there a table available of special signals from various areas of the K2 screen, particularly when all the options are present?  I know some of them, but get panicked when a seemingly strange one pops up.  In this case, I wasn't operating, just checking SWRs with a new balun.

Page 84 explains what all of the flashing annunciators mean.  
Unfortunately (I just discovered), the flashing 'F' is not covered in  
this list.

No; it's covered on page 103. I neglected to put it on the reference  
page.
