[Elecraft] K2: K60XV confession of a grumpy old man

[JAMES ROGERS]

Under my breath I have been critical of ones seeking assistance when  
it seemed they just had not read the manual. Today I upgraded my  
recently acquired K2 (s/n 4004) to the very latest firmware in all the  
various modules and installed the one missing module, the K60XV.

Well everything went well until I switched to 60M. The display came up  
with a 14.08894. I hunted and examined and scoped and finally sent an  
e-mail off to Gary Surrency. Gary in his usual very understanding and  
benevolent way suggested I enter a 60M frequency via the keypad. That  
fixed it.

The confession., The very next line under the line in the manual  
sending me off trouble shooting was the one I should have read. "Due  
to recent firmware changes, the frequency of this band may initially  
be set to something other than the 5Mz range. Use direct frequency  
entry......" Mea Culpa

I am sure I will be much more understanding in the future....
