[Elecraft] K1 Issues with RIT and ATTN LED's not functioning

[Don Wilhelm]

Steve,

Those LEDs are activated by 2 pins on the MCU, but the actual activation 
of ATTN and RIT/XIT is done via the AUXBUS signalling.
Unless you know that they worked shortly before you bought it, I would 
suggest that it may have been unused for some time.

On the chance that the problem is caused by oxidation on the pins of the 
MCU/socket, I suggest that you remove and reseat the MCU IC.  It is on 
the Front Panel board, and is the only socketed IC in the K1.
