Weather Radar Range Adjustment Incorrect?
I've noticed that when I have the weather radar on and I adjust the range of the display, the weather radar will adjust once on the first sweep after the range adjustment, but then adjust again on the second sweep, and remain there. It's as if it thinks I've ranged in/out two steps instead of just one. I can't remember if this has happened on any of the previous versions of the KA or just this latest one (v1.1.27). I don't believe the terrain data is affected in this way.
In case it's relevant, I'm using P3D v4.5 HF1, KA v1.1.27 and ASP4 Build 7410.

The WX radar in the King Air is capable of displaying different information for the pilot and copilot displays. On the first sweep, it will use the settings for the pilot's side, and then on the second sweep it will use the settings for the copilot's side. Thus for example, the radar updates the pilot's display on the sweep left to right and the copilot's display on the right to left sweep thus the pilot's display should only be updated every other sweep.
From the PTM:

It sounds like the PFD is no longer updating the Pilot and Copilot sweeps correctly and the pilot's PFD is being updated with each sweep.Since each pilot has a tilt control the radar produces an image on only one sweep. This enables the pilot’s tilt to be shown on the clockwise sweep while the copilot’s tilt can be shown on the counterclockwise sweep.

Something isn't being updated correctly for sure as it steps up or down twice when I only step the range once. Based on what you said, I checked the co-pilot's side radar and at least for my flight last night, it didn't display any returns even though the pilot's radar did. This also led me to notice that if BOTH the pilot's and co-pilot's radar displays are on, the sweep animation becomes twice as fast, but only updates every other scan or so.
There are definitely some oddities with the weather radar that may need looking into.
