There is a known issue with the K2 where you don't get immediate transmit
when changing frequencies, modes, etc. It has something to do with checking
the power level requested vs. the power output. Does your power "appear"
after a few dots on the paddles or after pressing TUNE? If not, then it's
another problem.
