[Elecraft] K2 6442 - Chasing zero on alignment.

[Don Wilhelm]

Chris,

What exactly do you mean by #2.  If BAND+/- is 'skipping' a band, then 
that is an indication that you may have tuned WITH THE VFO to the next 
band.  The K2 will *not* change bands when you turn the VFO (even though 
the display may have the correct frequency indicated).

If you have created that condition by tuning from one band to the other 
with the VFO, then the way to get things back to normal is to do a 
Direct Frequency Entry for each band in question (or just do it for all 
bands to be certain they are all correct).

Such a situation *could* explain you bandpass filter tuning problems on 
80 meters and 17 meters too.
