Mine Goes Up To 8!

A question for the heavy iron jocks from a humble Saratoga driver:

I recently bought a 747 transponder control head on eBay as a toy for the kids (see link below). The funny thing (to me, at least) is that it allows digits from 0 to 8 to be selected for what I assume is each digit of the beacon code. Since transponder codes are in octal and ought to go from 0 to 7, what is going on here?
