Strange Problem

[W0YG, Charlie Summers]

Well a problem just started.  Regardless of where in the 20M band I am when
I shut down, it always comes up on the same frequency when I turn the rig
back on.  The same is true of other bands.  Never happened before.  Real
strange.

An example of this is I turn the rig on and say it comes up on 14.010.  I
tune up the band to 14.035 and turn it off.  If I turn it back on
immediately, it come up back on 14.010!

Anyone got any ideas before I do a reset, ugh!

73,

Did you try to wait > 30 seconds before you turn it off?

The manual says:

"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."

Charlie,

Don't do that reset!!!

The K2 does that if you do not wait long enough at the new frequency.
So tune it up to 14.035 again and wait at least 30 seconds (or a full
minute) before changing bands or turning power off.

It has always been there - you just didn't notice before.
