KX2 display on start-up

I see the same issue with my KX3. However, since it goes away after a
couple of seconds I've got use to it. Anyone have ideas on the cause?

Re: KX2 display on start-up

Hi Gary

I had a reply from Wayne, it's quite normal apparently, almost a
'feature'! Funnily enough I have never seen this with my KX3.
