Rich, In the case of the K2, it makes no difference if you 'pull the plug' or use the power switch. That same thing does not apply to the K3, KX3 or KX2 - you must power down properly because there are things saved during the power off cycle. In the case of the K2, the VFO frequency is not cons

Dumb question, and I’m no K2 expert — but did you use the power switch to power down, or just remove power from the input line?I heard that doing it by jerking the rug out from under the supply is a Bad Thing. > On Jun 27, 2021, at 17:32, Don Wilhelm wrote: > > Ted, > > Try 'counting t

Ted, Try 'counting to ten' before powering down. If you move the VFO just before powering down, the VFO frequency may not have been written to EEPROM yet, the process is not immediate. 73, Don W3FPR On 6/27/2021 5:21 PM, eda...@aya.yale.edu wrote: I just finished debugging a K2 I built this
