On a K1, how do I get back from FL3 to FL1 or FL2? Menu freezes!

[KA2Y]

When holding down the XFIL button I can cycle from FL1 to FL2 and from FL2 to FL3.  However the radio is "stuck" at FL3, AND I cannot get any functions to change - I can not alter wPM, etc.  Turning the radio off and back on gets me back to "normal".  ???

I have the 1.9 firmware rev installed.  K1 Serial# 1851

Carlton,

Is this a problem that began recently, or has it always done it?

It behaves like the button is still being held down (no other buttons
will work)

Check to see if any of the front panel buttons (particularly the WPM+
button) are sticking to the Front Panel metalwork.
Why it would stick only when FL3 is selected, I have no idea, and if
that is the case, why power cycling would cure is does not make sense
either.

There is no direct relationship of the FL3 selection with the pushbutton
scanning by the microprocessor.
Be certain the firmware is fully seated in its socket - maybe re-seat it
to wipe any oxidation from the pins.
