KX1: no 80 meters with KXB3080

w1az@comcast.net
I have a KX1 with the KXB3080 installed.  It worked originally, but I've just
discovered that 80 meters is not available.  There is a B30 option in the
menu instead of B80.  Turning B30 on enables 30 meters, but not (not
surprisingly) 80 meters.  I would appreciate a hint on where to look for the
problem.  It's not obvious (to me at least) how the MCU knows which option is
installed.

Thanks!

Bernie

Bernie,

The info is in the KXB3080 manual and is hinted at in the Rev 1.02 firmware.
If you do not have the Rev 1.02 firmware installed, then no b80 is
available.

Assuming the firmware is correct, do the following:
1) Enter the menu and move the VFO knob to b30
2) Push the RIT button and the display should change to b80
3) Hold the EDIT button until the display changes to On or Off
4) Move the VFO knob to set the parameter to On
5) Tap the MENU button twice to exit the menu
You should now have 80 meters available.

73,
Don W3FPR
