Be calm, all is not lost, but you will have to do a bit of work to recover.
A Master Reset changes all menu settings and calibration settings back to the factory defaults - which match some 'average K2', but are not really proper for any one of them. The CAL FCTR reading on '0000000' indicates that you do not have the counter probe attached. Actually your transmit and receive are in sync, but your dial calibration is off, so your K2 does not indicate the proper frequency - you must run CAL PLL and CAL FIL to get things back in order. If you bought the K2 used, check to see if you recieved a frequency counter probe with your K2 - if not, you will have to build one - Elecraft has a kit of the parts needed, and the K2 manual gives the instructions for building it on page 45 of the Rev F manual. This counter probe is necessary for any procedure dealing with dial calibration and IF Filter/BFO alignment - the firmware must be able to read the frequency, and the probe provides the proper link to the firmware. Once you have a counter probe available, look at my website http://w3fpr.qrpradio.com article dealing with K2 Dial Calibration for information on setting the reference oscillator accurately and then running CAL PLL and CAL FIL to get things 'correct' again for you. You will need to download the Spectrogram program onto your PC and connect the K2 to your soundcard input to do the filter alignment, and to achieve the best accuracy when tuning WWV to the proper frequency if you choose to follow my website instructions - there are other sources for similar information on the Elecraft website - look in the Builder's Resources area (but I think my method is the best <G> - at least it is the easiest for me!!!) 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > I reset my darling back to factory specs by turning the radio on > with the PRE/ATT-AGC-XFIL buttons simultaneously depressed and > this experiment cost me the the whole ball of wax.
