6f1?????
I RECENTLY ordered a new 259B.  When it came in it had all the correct
buttons as others had listed on towertalk but said 259 and was version
1. something.   The vendor I bought from was VERY NICE in getting it
changed to the latest 259B.  Which came direct from MFJ.  It has the
3 buttons - just like the one I sent back power,gate,mode.  But is
marked 259B - has the new functions and says Version 2.02
It appears upgrades are happening!   but I'm not sure how we got to
version 6F1 on a 259B when mine hasn't been out of the box but a week
direct from MFJ.
