Narrative:
On visual approach to pdk runway 2R we received a GPWS warning 'obstacle; obstacle.' we were well inside of the towers that are south of the airport. We took corrective action and climbed until GPWS warning was extinguished which continued into a missed approach. We stayed with tower and entered a right down wind for a normal visual approach and landing to runway 2R.not sure why we received the GPWS obstacle warning. It was a normal visual approach pattern until the warning.
