No 12" drill number available after updating to 1.48

[Dee]

I just updated my kestrel 5700 elite to firmware 1.48.
I realy like the option to scroll page in the range card!
But what I don't like is that in the accuracy first page my 12" number is N/A!!
Does anyone have this problem? How can I solve this problem?
My environment is locked and elevation setting is in mils.

This was posted earlier:
The Accuracy 1st menu was implemented to support the training methodology used by military and civilians who attend training classes at Accuracy 1st. Use of the menus without that training could be counter productive. As stated before, If you turn the menu on, your Kestrel will have changes in DOF, Angle, wind, Latitude, spin drift and range card. If you turn the menu off, you will need to manually reset those items, they do not return to the previous state.

I checked that if you run it for a typical .308 rifle, it still gives you two numbers: one for "near" ranges < 305m, one for "far" ranges > 381m. It also gives the full table for the range of 12" angular sizes between 1.2-0.5 mil.
Now if you run it for something like 6.5CM or 300NM or 300PRC, both "near" and "close" numbers are NA. The table is still there. Looking at the table, you can see that the formula 10*size + elevation = constant is not doing so great. Kestrel says that in Ver 1.48 they wanted the formula to be precise within 0.3mil, and if it cannot do that, they returned NA.
Accuracy 1st says that for flat shooting rifles the Quick Drop formula works better.

Works with 6.5 ELD-X at 2675 FPS and 308 SMK at 2650 FPS but shows NA for a flatter Berger 140 at 2800 FPS and slower 308 SMK at 2450.
