Phil - I tried your suggestion of using VFO fine tuning and that does seem to help. I do not see the signal being driven off as I had previously. Will keep experimenting with. Thanks for the suggestion,

But, when I discovered this problem, after some experimenting around like with THR and some other things, I finally tried the VFO fine tuning, before it was on course tuning. By fine tuning I mean TWO digits to the right of the decimal point and course tuning is ONE digit to the right of the decimal point. I hardly ever use the finest tuning of 3 digits to the right. By the way, my THR is also 2 but I experimented with a variety of levels when I had this problem. I would test it again right now but I need to get my breakfast and then head off to work. 73, phil, K7PEH >________________________________ > From: Phil Hystad <[email protected]> >To: Jim - KE8G <[email protected]> >Cc: 'paul ecker' <[email protected]>; [email protected] >Sent: Tuesday, March 12, 2013 9:15 PM >Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Trouble with Auto-Spot (K3) > >I had the same problem the other day.
