KX1 display flicker after activating SCAN mode?

[Steven M. Knapp]

I hit upon the scan mode by accident with my brand new KX1. Reading the
manual it appears the memories are the scan boundaries. I've not set
these, so they would be whatever default.

I've noticed that while scanning, and even after scanning, the RF I hear
is reduced from what I had heard before. And the display flickers, for
example if it's displaying 2 it will flicker to 3.

It keeps doing this until I power cycle the radio. Then the RF/signal
goes back to normal, and the display works OK.

Well, the decimal point seems to flicker once and awhile. I've double
checked the solder joints, esp around the display and micro. Vibration
does not cause the flicker either.

Normal stuff here?

Hi, Steve!

It's very important that you set the scan memory Start/Stop boundaries
as described in the manual.  Operating without having done this is
pretty unpredictable, and can cause some of the problems you are
experiencing.
