My K2 wants to talk to me via mode indicator ...

[Hajo-3]

but I dont understand him.

in the display on the place of the mode indicator is alternativ  
blinking the mode "c" and
a "F". What does the "F" mean?

I looked all over the manuals, but was missing the right line.

Thanks Hajo

Hi Hajo,

You have "FAST PLAY" mode engaged, which means that certain switches
are enabled for one-touch message play (as defined by the FPLY menu
parameter; see page 103 of the K2 owner's manual).

The only way to turn fast-play on/off is to have one of the
programmable function buttons (PF1/PF2) set up as "FPon". You probably
have one of them assigned to FPon and pressed it by accident. If you
don't want to use fast-play, first turn it off using that same PFx
button, then reassign the PFx button to something else as described on
page 100.

73,

You're in the CW mode, but you have FPLY activated. Depending on how  
you have it configured, that means that two or more of the buttons on  
the right side are set to send messages instead of their labelled  
function.

FPLY is usually activated via either PF1 or PF2, depending on how you  
have your K2 configured.
