[Elecraft] K3 Firmware 4.58 - Problem using  K144XV

I am using my K3 with the internal transverter K144XV. Today I installed 

the (beta) Firmware 4.58.

My problem: Entering any 2m- QRG, e.g. 144.300 by pushing on the front panel

"FREQ ENT" 1 4 4 . 3 0 0 "ENTER (AFX)" results in changing the K3 to 

180.300 MHz

e.g. 145.525 results in 181.525 MHz ...

Always exactly 36 MHz too much! Also when entering QRGs by my contesting 

software via RS232...

The only way to activate 2m is using the bandswitch-button - then my K3 

starts with 144.000 MHz.

Any changing between HF-Bands is correct.

Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug of the new "BETA"?
