Two things. First, as you are turning the main tuning knob, it is  
quite possible you bump the power knob in the process. This will  
cause a power change.

Second, as you are turning the main tuning knob, the vibration to the  
rig may cause the power knob to move slightly, enough to signal a  
change in the K2 firmware.

I have this happen with the power and also the keyer speed,  
occasionally. I wouldn't worry about it.
