[Elecraft] R: R: K2 menu issue

Hello Don,
thank you for your suggestion, but before desoldering U7 (not easy) and changing it I'd like to be sure that the problem is the EEPROM. It seem a little odd to me that this problem come only with the ATU setting and it's not so usual that a single EEPROM address is damaged. Another strange behavior is that pressing MENU after switching on the radio I have on the display always the first menu element  (ST L) and not the last one I accessed before to switch off the radio.
Thank you for your help.
Ciao
Giorgio - IZ0DIO (also KW4NE)

If you are exiting the menu correctly, then the problem is likely with a memory location in the EEPROM IC U7 on the control board.
If you replace U7, you will have to do a Master Reset followed by CAL PLL and CAL FIL as well as re-entering all the other menu items.
Download the K2 A to B instructions because that contains a chart to guide you in recording the menu entries.
