[Elecraft] K1: Strange RIT behavior

The version showed as "109."

The PFn menu item was set to the ATU.  I never set up the PFn to
anything.  After reseting the PFn to "nb" (which I don't have installed)
the RIT turns on when the menu is ATU > Out.  So, problem solved.

Thanks, Brett.  Still strange that the PFn was set w/o my intervention.
