[Elecraft] KX1 display flicker after activating SCAN mode?

[w6fvi]

Hi, Steve!

It's very important that you set the scan memory Start/Stop boundaries 
as described in the manual.  Operating without having done this is 
pretty unpredictable, and can cause some of the problems you are 
experiencing.
