The K2 cannot tune while in transmit mode.
It takes a bit of time for the K2 to restore to RX mode (as far as the 
firmware is concerned).  So even though you may be able to hear between 
characters, one can think of the K2 as being still in transmit mode.
I do not know all the details of the timing, but the gaps in sending are 
not sufficient to allow changing the TX frequency.
