KX1 Displays ' u 7 ' when I hit the Band button on 40M

[Jack]

Merry Christmas to all!

After a month of not using my KX1 I turned it on and found that it displays
a lower case u in the left most "digit" of the band display when I hit Band
while on 40 meters.  I see "u 7" (or "u 6").  I do not see any anomaly when
I am on 80, 30 or 20!

I have looked in the manual but found no reference to a "u".

My unit is fully loaded, 4 bands, ATU, and the SMD cw tune indicator.

I get the "u" whether I am at 9 or 13.5 volts.

I have called this thing a "u" but to be clear, it is the bottom left,
bottom and bottom right led segment of the left most digit in the display.

Jack, AE6GC

Jack,

You have your KX1 in Upper Sideband mode - so nothing is wrong at all.
If you want to change it to 'nor' (normal = CW), then press the two
outer buttons together.  See the manual.
