Bernie, There is the '30 second rule' that you have to contend with. The K2 waits 30 seconds after you have tuned to a new frequency, set a new mode, etc. before it sets those parameters into memory. So if you tune to a spot and then quickly turn power off, it will not remember your settings. Wait a while (30 seconds seems like forever if you are in a hurry), and it will behave just like the manual says.
