[Elecraft] KX1 Keyer malfonctions during RIT fonction on

[Phil Wheeler]

I just tried to duplicate this problem, Ruchan, and could not.  Mine 
keys normally when RIT is on (but I did not check Iam Mode A, just B).

Of course, mine often sends "strange characters" -- but I'm pretty 
fumble fingered and all my rigs seem to do that :-)

73, Phil

TA2DA want to try it and he made his first contact using KX1 with a Texas station on 14Mhz with 579 reports, and afterwards many European stations.
