To do this, press the 4-5-6 keys together while powering up the K2. This will generate another
info message, INFO 201, which indicates the memory is being initialized.
(If this doesn't work, you have an earlier K2 firmware release. For earlier releases a hard reset is
done by pressing the STORE key for one second and then directly programming the K2's
frequency as '57575'. When you enter this password you will see INFO 249, which indicates an
INFO 201 - memory initialize - will take place upon the next K2 power up. Cycle power on the K2
to finish the reset.)
If you do not reset the K2 after getting this initial INFO 80 a number of strange things will
occur. Most frequently failure to initialize memory results in strange characters showing up on
the K2's display, odd tuning rates and general unreliable operation.
