got my K2 back from Don (RTC Fixed plus other things) and wanted to set
clock to UTC.
so I got the manual out an could not make it work. so I knew he set the
date so I kept trying, Finally..
I found out what I did wrong. or did not do right.wait.
here is the procedure in the users guide:Setting the Date and Time
Turn the K2 on. Tap M E N U , then tap D I S P L A Y to switch to the
secondary menu, and locate the
R T C menu entry. E D I T the parameter and change it to O N using B A N
D + or B A N D - . (This enables the
clock feature.) Tap M E N U twice to return to the frequency display.
To set the real-time clock you must set the date first, then the time,
as described below. (The KAF2
firmware enforces this sequence to help prevent accidental time changes.
If you attempt to set the time first,
or if you switch between time and date display more than once, any
changes will be disabled.)
1. Turn the K2 off, wait a few seconds, then turn it back on. If you
plan to use WWV or some other on-
air time announcement, tune it in now. If you're setting the clock to
UTC, don't forget to use the UTC
date if it's different from the local date.
2.Tap D I S P L A Y . After about 1 second, you should see a time
display (H H . M M . S S ). The time may
not be changing at this point, and may be set to 0 1 . 0 1 . 0 1 or to a
random time.
Note: The receiver is not muted when time is displayed, so you may hear
microcontroller-generated noise. If the noise is
objectionable, turn down the AF gain when leaving the clock displayed
for long periods of time.
3. Hold B A N D +and B A N D -together to switch to date display (M M -
D D - Y Y or D D - M M - Y Y3).
4.Tapping B A N D + or B A N D - will now change the day, and holding B
A N D + or B A N D -will
change the month. To change the year: If the month is set to 1 2, each
subsequent hold of
B A N D +will increment the year.
If the month is set to 1 , each subsequent hold of B A N D - decrements the
year. Once the desired year is selected, you can set the month by moving
it back in the other direction.
5. With the date now set, hold B A N D and B A N D - together to switch
back to time display.
6.Tapping B A N D + or B A N D will now change the minute, and
holding B A N D + or B A N D will change the hour. Every change resets
seconds to
0 0, so you can sync to a time reference if desired.
7. To disable further changes, switch to date display, then back to time
display. Then move the VFO knob
or tap D I S P L A Y twice to return to the normal frequency
*Here is what i found*
Tap BAND+ or BAND- to set Day ( there is about a 1-2 sec delay between
tap and change!)
change the day, even if you put it back before trying to set time
Hold BAND+or BAND- to set month (1-2 sec delay after depression)
to set year,
if year must increase,set month to 12 then,
Hold BAND+ to bump year up.
If year must decrease, setmonth to 1 then
Hold BAND- to decrease year
\once date is set Hold BAND+ andBAND- to display time.
Tap BAND+ or BAND- to set minute (1-2 sec delay after tap)
Press and) Hold BAND+or BAND- to set hour (1-2 sec delay after tap)when
you change either minute or hour the seconds reset to zero so wait for
your reference to hit 58 or 59 seconds before you make the last change.
Now tap DISPLAY twice to return to frequency display and your date and
time are set!
What messed me up was the delay after the tap or tap and hold.
