Hi Dave,
Check out the K2 manual, page 32, right hand column. Sounds like you need to
loosen the set screws on the knob and push it in a bit tighter against the felt
washer and then retighten the set screws. The felt washer acts as a friction
brake and the amount of braking force depends on
Dave,
Easy fix - just loosen the screws on the VFO knob and move it back a bit to
create more drag on the knob. Be certain the felt washer is in place, that
is the only thing that creates the drag - adjust the knob position on the
shaft until the drag is right for your taste. If you initially
Thanks to all who responded. The haunting is now over. I adjusted
the VFO knob to put a bit more pressure on the felt washer and now it
stays put when I turn loose of the knob.

Hi Dave:
This is probably doe to the fact that the brass counterweight inside
the back of the VFO tuning knob is just a slight bit eccentric with
regard to weight... just about all K2 VFO knobs will demonstrate this
'quality' of there's insufficient rotational resistance applied to
the back

Now that I have your attention, I don't really think that my K2 is
haunted, but it does seem to want to tune itself.
Since you implied that the knob is actually turning, I think you have a
simple problem solved by tightening the pressure on the felt washer, as
others
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
