The reason for this observed behavior is described in section 8
("Operation") in the K2 manual.
See page 91 under "Frequency and Band Selection" ...
Whenever you change bands or recall a frequency memory, a number of
parameters are saved in nonvolatile memory (EEPROM). This update also
occurs periodically if you've moved the VFO (see Backup Timer). The
parameters that are saved on a per-band basis include:
. A and B VFO frequencies and VFO tuning rate
. Current VFO (A or B)
. Operating mode (CW, USB, LSB) and CW Normal/reverse
. AGC slow/fast
. Preamp and attenuator on/off
. Noise blanker on/off (requires noise blanker option)
. ANT1/2 selection (ATU option)
. Receive antenna on/off (160 m/RX ant. option)
Also, see page 94 under "Backup Timer" ...
While you're moving the VFO, a 30-second data backup timer is being
continuously re-started. Once you have completely stopped tuning the VFO
for at least 30 seconds, the K2 will then save your current operating
frequency in EEPROM. As long as you stay on a particular frequency, no
further updates will be done.
