This is normal according to our resident guru, W3FPR. The "END" signifies
out of band - a lockout for the US CB frequencies. The K2 sets power to 0.
The power stays at 0 until you tweak the power control no matter where you
dial the VFO or what band you set.
Thanks Stephen!

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K2 12M odd behavoir, "END" message
Bill,
I have exactly what you saw. Having reduced freq from above 25MHz there
was
still no output even though I was now in the 12m band. QSY to within any
other band and still no output. How strange! I'm using latest firmware
etc.
As with you, TX was restored by changing the power level. And the radio
works fb otherwise. So you are not alone...!

Bear with me, this is strange.... K2 / 06254 built last Fall
A few days ago I fixed a problem on my K2 (low output on 15/12/10).
Yesterday I finished a complete alignment and today reinstalled the
KPA100.
So... its lashed to a dummy load and I'm stepping through the bands to
make
sure the KPA100 is happy. I get to 12M and the VFO happens to be set to
25000.00, I tap the key. No output and I get an "END" message on the
display.
Move the VFO to inside the band, no more "END" message but still no
output.
Change the power level - now there is normal output!
In fact, if I recreate the setup (freq to 25000.00 or higher, tap the
key,
get "END"), then change to any other band - there is no output until I
change the power setting.
I couldn't find this mentioned in any of the archives. Is the firmware
getting confused or do I have a unique gremlin? The only reference to
the
"END" msg I can find in the book is CAL PLL.
It's working 100% otherwise. Would appreciate it if somebody else would
give this a try!
THX & 73, Bill N2BC
