[Elecraft] Re: KX1 Menu display looks odd

[Koaps]

So rechecked everything,

I think the problem might have just been what I
expected to see and the way it was displayed were
different.

Since the manual doesn't show actual pictures of the
menu options, I expected them to look different.

Could someone with a working KX1 just let me know if
their menus look the same as mine and if I am missing
anything, I don't see the CAL option.

Thanks
