[Elecraft] KX1 Frequencies Between Bands

[mvamis at wavecable.com]

The issue only seems to present itself when I power off 
the KX1 then later power it on.  It also seems to only 
happen when I am running on external power, but leave the 
power plug plugged in with both the KX1 and the power 
supply off.  If I turn off the KX1 but leave the power 
supply on, it seems to retain the last VFO position on 
each band.

This really isn't much of a problem, but it just seems 
kind of strange.  Maybe the EEROM is being drained somehow 
when the external power plug is in place but without power 
on it.  Who knows.
