And this is very important even for SO1R stations who move stations or get
moved
to other bands!
And thanks for the Q's in NAQP, Tor

I used my pair of K2/100's in last weekend's NAQP CW. Band conditions were
pretty good for August, and I ended up with 789 qso's. I use the pair
SO2R, meaning I am listening on one band while transmitting simultaneously
on another band. In the NAQP mults count on every band (including 160),
and you change bands a lot.
I was reminded again of a K2 firmware "bug" that has been very annoying to
me: after changing bands, the K2 transmit power is reset to zero. I takes
several dits for the power to come up to 100%. That means if I change
bands, the first station I call gets something like "AOGW" instead of
N4OGW! If I forgot to hit the tune button or send a string of random dits,
the station I was calling frequently came back with "?" I'd rather not
have to QRM other stations "tuning up" every time I change bands.
Is it possible to make the K2 start out at 100% TX power? Is this supposed
to protect the finals?
In the NA Sprint contest (coming up in September!) this is a really big
deal. There, you must QSY after calling CQ, and if the station I am
calling misses my call, I may never hear him again!
