[Elecraft] KX3: Possible Memory Bug

I'm getting familiar with using my new KX3 so maybe this something I 
have overlooked or not fully understood.

I was attempting to check into the Sunday SSB Net and had entered the 
memory location for 14.303.5 then tuned up to 14.304 before net time 
to listen to the net that precedes the Elecraft Net.  I attempted to 
go back to 13.303.5 by pressing RCL and then STORE but it resets the 
memory back to 14.304 when I press STORE.  I fussed around trying 
this a few times and discovered if I rotated VFO-A to a different 
memory and then back to the one for 14.303.5, then press STORE it 
loads the net frequency just fine.  But not if I manually tune the 
memory off frequency and try to return via memory RCL?

Just wonder if anyone else has encountered this?  My K3 has not 
problem resetting to memory channel after tuning off freq. so find 
this surprising.  I have 1.06 rev5 sw loaded into the KX3.

I decided 20m skip was too long to check in today (barely could copy 
NC, but heard W5's very loud).  The KX3 is driving my 300w PA very 
nicely at 270w (same as my K3/10 does).  I am monitoring 50.125 today 
as the PNW has a 6m opening into EU early Friday.
