Menu Entry DI S P LAY 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 n o r or 8r hol d. "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 hol d 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.
I N P Selects auto-detect mode, ADE T On or ADE T Of f . 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 O n. (See Owner's manual.)
RAT E S Selects scanning mode: nor (normal), Ch S c (channel scan), Ch S c- t n (channel scan/tune)
PO R T Sends an "FA" (VFO A frequency) response to the computer if POR T is set to On.
d19 Selects PA low-pass filter for 60 m: P A 6 0=8 0 (80 m filter) or P A6 0=4 0 (40/30 m filter).
TRN 1 -6 Cycles through the six transverter parameters (on/off, RF, IF, offset, power level, address). Tap
ANT1 / 2 to toggle between TRN 1- 3 and TR N 4 - 6 configuration.
Programmable Function Buttons (PF1, PF2)
PF1 and PF2 can be assigned to any entry in either menu, including S C A N or FP o n (Fast-Play on/off), which are
located in the primary menu. First, select P F 1 or P F2 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
DI S P LAY . Tapping DI S P L A Y again will return to the primary menu entries. Exit the menu when finished.
