Hi Josep, You might try running the Transmitter Gain calibration procedure which is in the Elecraft K3 Utility Program. You must have a good dummy load to do this, but otherwise it is all automatic. You just follow the prompts from the program. 73, Victor, 4X6GP Rehovot, Israel CWops #5

Lou - What a great idea! An "SK Chain" to pass along "orphaned" gear. I'm all for it. One requirement - everyone must be a minimum of 80 y/o to receive gear. That way no one hogs it for too long. I'll be 80 next March, and I'd be ready to sign up in the KPA/KAT500 group ... 73 Lyn, WØLEN

I think you may be right. Take a listen on 40 metres. OHR is on almost every evening in the UK and moves up and down the band. Not sure where you are but you may be able to pick it up and compare. It’s quite obvious when you hear it and see it on a waterfall/scope. 73, Alan - G4GNX > On 22

Hi Jim, We are in the same boat although I am futher back. I am #26. My K3 just came back from Elecraft and worked for about a month when it failed again (different problem). I also have a 7300 but it does not compare to my K3/P3, of course it only cost about 1/4 of the K3. Good luck, 73

Thanks all for you input and recommendations, helped me submit an "Intruder report" to DARC. I do not think the source is local (power supply, solar systems, Etc.) It's very strong 20+ over S9 and 20 Khz wide, comes and goes at odd times. Best guess is an HF radar. Ron

Thanks Greg, I’ll look into it. As long as I can query the radio and it returns the current shift/width then converting to low and high cut is not an issue. This is to be able to program a button in my Stream Deck that will dynamically change to show current RX BW. For those unfamiliar, look
