KX1 and 3080 Mod Kit Question

Ed G
Hello,
     Just finished installing the 3080 mod kit for my KX1.  All functions of the KX1 appear to operate ok except that when I change bands I see “12” for 30 meters on the display.  I was expecting to see “10.”  Is this normal?

Ed,

With the KX1 having general coverage receive capability, is it possible
that you have at some point or another dialed the VFO to a 12 MHz segment?

Try just dialing it to the 30 meter band and see what happens.

Hi Don,
     Well, that’s the answer.  Except that I have not done any previous  tuning or listening on the 30 meter band; this is a new 3080 mod installation.  But for some reason the frequency in memory was 12.  I’ve tuned down a bit and now am seeing 10 MHz when I hit the band switch.  Thanks!
