[Elecraft] K1 Band Display Problem

[Dale Putnam]

Hi Eric,  You can reset that display, by going to the manual for the 4 band filter.. and resetting theb3 setting. Basically, go into the menu, select b3, use the band button to select 14.. back out of the menu.. and it will be all happy. Good Fun, this.
Have a great day,
