Sounds like you moved the net to 14.312, but there was traffic on 14.310 making net control unreadable for me. I think I might have checked in, but too much QRM for me to hear an ack. __ Elecraft mailing list Home:

[Elecraft] [K3, KAT3] ATU icon

The K3 owners manual contains the following text: The ATU icon will flash briefly whenever new settings are automatically loaded. I've never noticed this flashing and I'm curious why not. The ATU is set to auto, and I'll go to the bottom of the CW portion of the 20m band and tap atu tune so

I tried the same test, but TX'ing after each frequency or band change - and still no flashing. It appears that the tuner IS pulling in new settings (as the SWR doesn't jump up), but again - no visual indication. 73 - gary / k3wow On Aug 29, 2010, at 7:23 PM, Ken Wagner K3IU wrote: It

That worked... 3.995, tune, 3.505 and tune... and back to 3.995 with a short ID and I saw the ATU icon flash. Strange that I don't see it when changing bands, though. Thanks for the advice, Sam. Take care and 73 Gary / k3wow On Aug 29, 2010, at 8:05 PM, Sam Morgan wrote: when you go

If you use the K3 Utility program, and write this macro, it should do what you are looking for, I would think. ML015 ML being the monitor command and 015 being the level of the monitor volume. I have recently learned how convenient using and writing marcos can be. Yes, I have something

I can help with some of these (though I'm clueless on the NB...) It helps if you visualize the passband of the receiver as a small part of the entire RF spectrum that the radio lets into your speaker (or headphone.) This would be similar to a movable and resizable window on your house - so you
