Strange behavior

KR4OW
Hello all
My K2 has begun to flash back and forth between power reading and frequency. When the power setting is above 10 watts KPA ON I assume.
When you change the vfo it will flash between power and Freq sometimes.
Also with the power display showing it only reads 68 watts flickering 69 watts. But it puts out full power. I assume it is in the KPA 100 but the only thing that I can see that controls the KPA 100 on off is U1 So what does this have to do with reporting? With KPA Off it operates as suppose to. My K2 is going to be the cw rig for our club field day. 3A NFL

Thanks
David KR4OW

Hi David,

I have the 10 watt version and I've noticed that mine jumps between the
frequency and power display setting every once in a while.  It will also jump
between frequency and keyer speed setting too.  It doesn't happen very often
and when it does, I just ignore it.  I figure it's just a glitch.  All part of
having computers and radios mixed together. :-)  I know that may not be a
satisfactory answer but, I just don't worry about it since it doesn't affect
how my K2 operates.  If the power output and keying speed were to change
because, of it then I would be concerned.

Gary, N7HTS
