K1: Strange RIT behavior

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

While operating on 40 meters I tried to turn on RIT - instead of turning
on, the menu displayed the "Out" menu item.  I had the Attenuator on, so
I turned that off, yet still the "Out" appeared on the menu when I tried
to turn on RIT.

Later, by experimentation, I discovered that when the ATU's sub-menu
"Out" is selected the RIT won't turn on.  If some other menu item is
selected the RIT will turn on.  Is this a feature, or have I crossed
wires somewhere?

Thanks,

The version showed as "109."

The PFn menu item was set to the ATU.  I never set up the PFn to
anything.  After reseting the PFn to "nb" (which I don't have installed)
the RIT turns on when the menu is ATU > Out.  So, problem solved.

Thanks, Brett.  Still strange that the PFn was set w/o my intervention.
