[Elecraft] K1 Band Display Problem

[EricJ]

Thanks Mike and Dale. That was the problem. Maybe I screwed it up in the 
dark at the campsite. I use this radio a lot at home and in the field, 
but nothing ever goes wrong with it so I have little opportunity to 
learn much about how it works inside. No doubt I set that up in 2005 
when I built it, but haven't revisited it since.

I have a KX1, and two K2s, but the K1 is still my favorite for pure CW 
fun. All of them have been very reliable rigs.

73 to both of you and thanks again.
