[Elecraft] K2: Scanning 60m with K60XV

[Randy Moore]

Just got the K60XV installed in my K2 (#337).  All my firmware is 
current.  I can access and use the 60m frequencies just fine, and I 
programmed the first 5 memories for the allowed channels. 

When I attempt to enable channel hopping I run into some "issues," 
possibly related to my misunderstanding of how this works.  If I edit 
"rATES" to be "CH SC", channel hopping doesn't work.  Tuning VFO A 
continues to modify the frequency in the normal way.  If I edit "rATES" 
to be "CH SC-TN" (manual tuning enabled - not really sure what this 
means), channel hopping works and the VFO cycles through the first 5 
memories that I have set to 60m channels just like I expected. 

Under neither of the above conditions will scanning work.  If I initiate 
scanning by "holding" "RCL", then "holding" the appropriate channel 
number (the one "STOREd" after editing "rATES), the MHz decimal point 
blinks as is should, the displayed frequency shifts about +20 hz, the 
receiver mutes for a few seconds, then the frequency never changes 
again.  The receiver will periodically mute for a few seconds, but no 
further scanning happens.

Any advice or corrections would be appreciated!
