Hello
Just finished updating firmware; using latest utility pgm; radio works fine
- 'tune' into dummy load gives 1.1-1.
Calibration from utility instantly fails at 1.900 99.9-1 SWR.
Can't think of anything to try - commercial dummy load directly connected.
Thanks 72 John VE3NFK

Hi
I like to see the resolution of problems.. so here goes for mine..
With the expert help of Howard at Elecraft; 3 phone calls and 2 emails
later;
the problem was Synth2 not working ... the fix was to remove it - look at it
:-)
and replace it.
Now the sub RX works great.
73 John VE3NFK
rx - can hear
band noise but that is all
sensitivity on the low bands (300khz-900khz) does seem to be improved at
all.
Advise as to what I have done wrong would be appreciated!

Hi Jim
I use the K3 with TRX-Manager and my 4el SteppIR.
The K3 is on COM 13 (an FTDI USB-serial adapter) and the SteppIR is
'Synchro' on COM 12 4800 baud.
The SteppIR happily follows my K3 around.
Disclaimer - I am a Beta tester for TRX.

Wine...
