K2 Scan not staying on freq long enough

ArtLinux
Today I tried scanning for the first time with surprising results.

Instead of staying on a signal for about 25 seconds, my K2 stays on a
signal for a random 3 to 18 seconds (usually less than 5 seconds). These
CW stations heard by scanning are often very strong and over 15 wpm with
no breaks in transmission expected. The random nature of the pause time
with good signals is also a surprise.

I setup the scanning with DSP on and off with no difference in results.
The scan rate was also varied with no differences observed.

Does the procedure you have followed give the 25 second result described
in the manual? Any ideas of why the K2 #6155 with 2.04P firmware might
act this way?
