When I tune up, say from 14005, Kx1 reaches a limit, say at 14027, and refuses to tune higher. After powering down and up everything is fine, at least for some time. Any idea why?

Mine (and I'm sure all of them) will do the same thing.  I'm still having a problem getting the "Two Button Press" timing correct and so when I push buttons 1 & 2 (Band/RIT) to change the Display to check my battery voltage sometimes it won't work..... what it will do is turn on the RIT.  In my case at least, that was the "Tuning Limit" I was seeing.

I asked about this issue a while back and the comment from Wayne I got was: "This is the first time I've ever heard of anyone having an issue with 2-button combinations on the KX1. They can be pressed simultaneously ± about 200 ms in order to be considered as a combination."

Hope this helps.
