[Elecraft] K2 and scanning frequencies

[Dan Barker]

The book says:

"Store this setting in any memory (using the S T O R E switch), but
instead of tapping the switch for the desired memory, hold the
numbered switch (0 -9 ) until you see S C A N on the display."

It should say:

"Store this setting in any memory (using the S T O R E switch a HOLD). THEN
RCL (a hold) and a number (tap to recall memory n, hold to scan from A to B
of memory n).
You will see S C A N on the display."

It is two operations. 

 1. Store the limits (from vfoA to vfoB and other parameters) in a numbered
memory.

 2. Start a scan (done by a HOLD vs. a TAP).

If you do what the book says, it will do the HOLD function of whatever
number you were pressing (in my case 1 so I saw TEST and OPER).

NOTE TO MANUAL MAINTAINERS: Please edit this correction. It's very rough.
Also, I'm quoting Rev F, not G.

Subject: [Elecraft] K2 and scanning frequencies

I have read through page 103 of the 'G' manual serveral times now, things do
not seem to be working out.  I was hoping to setup two frequencies, either
in memory or with the VFOs, and scan between them.

I have setup VFOA for freqA and VFOB for freqB, and then held STORE, and
then selected and held a number until SCAN is displayed.  If I had two
frequencies in the memory for that same band, it then scanned JUST those to
frequencies.  If I did not have any frequencies on that band in memory, it
then 'scanned' the one frequency I put it.

I then did the same thing, and held down the number key until I got AF ON,
and the same thing happend.

If I placed the two frequencies in spots 1 and 2, and then did this, it
would scan the frequencies, hopping between them.

My goal is to scan everything from freqA to freqB and back, continuously.  I
must be missing something obvious.
