Weird K2 behavior

[Tom Field]

I have a K2 7432 with the K100, KSB, KAF2 options, and have been using the
serial port through a Keyspan adaptor with N3fjp logging software. It
correctly reads the radio frequency on all bands except 40 meters where
regardless of the radio frequency it only reads 7198 This is new behavior
as well.
Below is the data from the program: Any one have any other Ideas?

Rig Name = Elecraft
Read Frequency Command = FA;
Read Mode Command = MD;
Convert To Hex = False
Com Port Name = COM4
Baud Rate = 4800
Parity = None
Stop Bits = 2
Data Bits = 8
Power Option = None
Numeric Frequency = 7.198
String Frequency = 7.19800
Mode = SSB
Polling Rig = True
Polling Rate = 2000
Return Mode = True
Return Frequency = False
Mode From Frequency = False
Version = Rig Interface Setup 1.2    (Ctrl R)
Buffer = MD1;

Tom,

Isolate the problem.
What does the K2 display indicate?  If that is correct and you can tune
the K2 with the VFO knob, then you have a problem with the N3FJP program
and should ask or support for that program.

OTOH, if you cannot tune with the K2, open it up and do the VFO Range
Tests for all band edges and we can likely help.  As one wild guess - do
you have the secondary menu parameter for D19 set properly?  It should
be "y" if the K60XV is installed, but must be "n" without the K60XV.  If
you have installed the rework eliminators, you need to set it as though
the K60XV were installed.

73,
