KX3-2M post install issue

Gene Sochor
I just completed the straightforward install of my new KX3-2M 2-meter
module in my KX3 s/n 335 with ATU, encountering no issues. (firmware
level at 2.12).  The simple configuration setup procedure also went
smoothly.  After powering off and on as instructed, however, instead
of a new 144 MHz band, I have now added a band which VFOA says is
22.0 MHz, and VFOB is showing 44.0 MHz instead of 144.0.  Restored
the various settings as they were before the install, powered off and
on again, then redid the 2 meter settings, with the same
results.  Has anybody else experienced this, or have suggestions?

73, Gene N9SW

Gene,

Only a possible guess.
You could try a direct Frequency Entry to a frequency in the 2 meter band.
Do it once with VFO A selected and then swap VFOs (A/B button) and do it
to that VFO as well.
