[Elecraft] K2 and scanning frequencies

[Don Ehrlich]

David,

Here is a very helpful message I received from Elecraft way way back when I 
was having problems with scanning on 40 meters.  I don't know if it 
addresses your problem or not but I thought it was worth a shot ...
------------------------------------------
It sounds at least on 40 that you have
the channel hopping enabled somehow (as described in your manual on page
99 second column). When your on 40, go into the menu, tap display to get
in the secondary menu (you'll see SEC) and turn the VFO knob to get to
RATES. Once on RATES hold down Menu as to edit the rates. Tap Display
and you will see one of 3 selections: CH SC, CH SC-TN, and "nor". You
want to select "nor". After this, try scanning again and see if it works
normally. If it does, than your radio was set up to channel hop. If it
doesn't than maybe your firmware is somehow damaged. Please let us know
what you find out. We will get it running correctly, 73 Richard
