Parameter Initialization (EEINIT)
Parameter initialization should not be done without first consulting Elecraft customer support. We can
help you solve most problems without taking this step. Also, please look for your symptoms in the
Troubleshooting section above.
It is possible, though rare, for EEPROM parameters to become altered in such a way as to prevent the firmware
from running correctly. If you suspect this, you can reinitialize parameters to defaults, then restore a previously-
saved configuration (or re-do configuration steps manually; no test equipment is required). To initialize:
§ IMPORTANT: Run the KX2 Utility program and use the Save Configuration function to save your present
firmware configuration. (Otherwise, you’ll need to re-do calibration steps after EEINIT.)
§ Turn the KX2 off (using the KX2’s on/off switch combination, not your power supply).
§ Hold in the NB knob with your left hand. Then turn power on with your right hand by holding RATE and A/B
together for about 3 seconds until the LEDs all turn on. Finally, release the NB knob after a few more seconds.
You should see EE INIT on the LCD.
§ When EE INIT completes, you may see ERR nnn due to initialization. Tap DISP to clear any error
messages.
§ Restore all parameters using the Restore Configuration function of the KX2 Utility program. Then turn power
off and on again. See if the original problem has been resolved. If not, contact Elecraft. Note: Elecraft
maintains configuration files for all KX2s sold. Your original configuration file can be sent to you via email on
request.
