[K2] EEPROM Problem?

Hey!

I have an Elecraft K2, serial number 7535, with the following options installed: KSB2, KNB2, KIO2, KAT2, KBT2, and K160RX.  I just installed the K160RX board tonight after sitting on the kit for about a year and finally set out to build it today.  Once I installed it I did the basic checks and it is receiving on 160m and the board appears to work just fine.  The problem is that I noticed that the rig now doesn't always remember it's prior state if I power cycle it.  Previously, if I turned my K2 on, changed frequency with the VFO knob, turned it off and turned it back on, it would remember the frequency I had set it to.  Now it reverts to the frequency it held when I last turned it on unless I do something like change the operating mode at the new frequency.  In that case, it remembers the frequency where I changed modes when I power-cycle the rig.  I do not remember this behavior prior to installing the K160RX.  

Everything else about the rig seems to be working fine and the 160m board seems to be working well.  I can receive, transmit, and use the receive antenna.  

My question is: Is this an EEPROM problem, and if so, what is a likely cause and how do I address it?  

Sincerely,

Joseph, KI4ITG
