Hello All:
=20
After over a year of not tinkering with the innards of my K2 (its a sin =
aint it?), I upgraded my Firmware from K2MCU 2.02f ... to K2MCU 2.03d =
and the I/O Controller from 1.02 to K2IOC 1.07.... in preparation for =
building the KAT100 - which has been sitting on my bench unbuilt for =
many months (another sin). =20
=20
Now, I'm having problems with alignment and set-up. Both chips are =
inserted correctly and the radio is functioning and responding.... more =
or less OK. I have re-set my prior BFO and Filter settings. All menu =
functions appear to be active. The problems appear to be related to the =
BFO settings and the Filter settings. The K2 is equipped with the =
KPA100, and all was functioning OK before the Firmware upgrade(s).=20

Some symptoms are: muted receive audio on some bands especially 40M - no =
audio at all; no apparent effect of turning the main VFO dial on 40M =
(the frequency numbers change, but no actual tuning effect); OP1 =
settings "sound" different than before upgrade; getting an INFO 232 =
message when performing CAL PLL (counter probe is in TP1) . =20
=20
Although this has got to be an easy fix, I am hesitant to proceed with =
the KAT100 until I resolve these problems. Any ideas on a process of =
re-alignment are appreciated...and may be best taken off list directly =
to [email protected]

Thank you in advance.
