K2 Flashing “F” Mode

[Elecraft mailing list]

On my K2 I was playing around with the PF1 and PF2 buttons to put a different shortcut in.  I must have fat fingered something because now the mode indicator is slowly alternately flashing “F” and “c” in CW mode.  

I looked on page 84 of the manual where all the various indications of the mode digit are described, “F” is not included.  

I’m continuing to look in my manual, but if anyone can tell me what that means I’d be grateful.  The radio is working fine otherwise.

Marty,

It's not really a menu item. If you are still in Fast Play mode
(flashing "F"), then press the PF key that it is assigned to and it will
toggle it off. FPon is a function that can be assigned to one of the PF
keys. You need to use the MENU to edit the PF key entry and reassign it
from the FPon function.

You can see how to do all of this on page 104 of the current manual.

73,
Dave W8FGU

Try finding out which button it is by pressing one or the other and it will toggle Fast Play off. You will then want to reprogram that PF button to something else desired unless you want to use the Fast Play option.

Thanks to all for the replies and help.  I got it.  Enjoying the K2 while pressing it into service waiting for my K4D (I’m on the first run paid up group) and getting my station accessories “Elecraft-ized” after selling my beloved TT Orion2.   (ie., mic plug required)
