[Elecraft] K3 Delta-f Indicator not working

[Dan Sherwood]

They were about 3 kHz apart. Also I tested XIT and RIT. As soon as those are enabled delta-f should lite up when the encoder is moved. It didnt. It seemed to be a software glitch which cleared with a power cycling. 

If it happens again I will contact tech support. 

Tnx
