Weird Thing with K2

[Jack Chomley]

I just got a s/hand K2 and was going through the menus and after reading the manual and checking it's settings, I discover D19 is set ON, but the radio is not fitted with the K60XV option.
so, I turn it OFF  This caused my 40 metre output power level to drop to 4 watts out, even with the power knob set full on. Same thing with the ATU IN or OUT. Problem solved when I set D19 back ON.
Firmware is 2.04P
Have I missed something?

  Jack,

If that K2 has either the "rework eliminators" or the K60XV installed,
you have to have D19 turned on.
Sorry that you did not get full information from the prior owner.  That
happens frequently.
