Primary and Secondary Menus
All K2 menu entries are listed below for reference, and reflect the latest firmware changes. Items marked with an
asterisk (*) are accessed with DISP LAY , as explained under Additional Edit-Mode Options, below. For further
details on menu functions, see the K2 Owner's Manual, page 83 (primary menu) and page 100 (secondary menu).
Menu Access: Tap MENU to see the K2's primary menu. To access the secondary menu, tap DISP LAY (after
tapping MENU ). As you go back and forth between the two menus with DISP LAY , you'll see PRI and SEC.

The following menu entries provide extended options in edit mode. These options are selected or changed by tapping
DISPLAY when you are editing the menu entry's parameter. The TRN1-6 entries also use ANT1/2 (see below).
Menu Entry DISPLAY Function
ST L Selects the sidetone source, now U8-4 in all cases. See KIO2 manual for sidetone mod details.
T-R Specifies 8-volt receive signal behavior, 8r nor or 8r hold. "Hold" mode is intended for use with
external amplifiers or transverters: in CW mode, it holds the 8V rcv line low for the duration of the
QSK delay. 8r hold mode can be used at all times, even if you don't use an external amplifier or
transverters, and will not affect performance in any way.
INP Selects auto-detect mode, ADE T On or ADE T Off. If you plan to connect both a keyer paddle and
hand-key or other keying device to the K2's KEY jack, use ADE T On. (See Owner's manual.)
RATES Selects scanning mode: nor (normal), Ch Sc (channel scan), Ch Sc-tn (channel scan/tune)
PORT Sends an "FA" (VFO A frequency) response to the computer if PORT is set to On.
d19 Selects PA low-pass filter for 60 m: P A60=80 (80 m filter) or PA60=40 (40/30 m filter).
TRN1-6 Cycles through the six transverter parameters (on/off, RF, IF, offset, power level, address). Tap
ANT1/2 to toggle between TRN1-3 and TRN4-6 configuration.
Programmable Function Buttons (PF1, PF2)
PF1 and PF2 can be assigned to any entry in either menu, including SCAN or FPon (Fast-Play on/off), which are
located in the primary menu. First, select PF1 or PF2 in the menu, then EDI T the parameter to change the assigned
function (RANT is a special case: toggles instantly.). To assign one of the secondary menu functions, tap
DISPLAY. Tapping DISPLAY again will return to the primary menu entries. Exit the menu when finished.
