It sounds as if you fixed the problem by tightening the knob, but that isn't the only reason for "hands off" frequency changes.
There was an encoder issue in older K2's that can cause that sort of thing to happen intermittently too. The frequency would increment on its own because the firmware was mistakenly reading changes in the encoder output during transmit as actual knob movement. The result was a steadily changing frequency with both hands off! That was solved with a simple wiring change documented here several years ago and subsequently fixed in firmware. If you have 2.02E firmware or later you have the fix.
