Don, your knowledge of the K2 knows no bounds! RX and was indeed selected
for 75 meters.  I turned it off and once again have good "ears" via the Lil
Tarheel.  Thank you very much.

Chuck, NN7U

  Chuck,

The usual cause for "no receive on one band" is that the RX ANT has been
selected for that band.  While on 80 meters, enter the menu and check to see
if it is on or off.
