Ian,

It would seem that a full reset may be needed.
BUT - before you do that, record ALL the menu settings.  There are 
instructions in the K2ATOB instruction sheet with places to record the 
settings - download if necessary.
After the reset, you will have to reenter the settings, and do a CAL PLL 
and CAL FIL to get everything back to normal.  That also means you will 
need the internal frequency counter cable.  I believe you can order that 
kit from Elecraft if you do not have one already.

73,
