The humongous signal is not there this afternoon and K3 tunes all the
way to 8 MHz just fine. I'll continue to check from time to time.

OK, this one has me confused. I was looking for CHU on 7850 or close,
and as I was tuning up from 40 m, I encountered a VERY strong signal
around 75xx or so which sounded like RTTY, at which point my K3
froze. No control did anything, including the K-Pod and the power
switch, the very strong signal just kept on blaring from the
headphones, and nothing I could do could change anything in the rig.
I killed the power supply, and turned it back on and the K3 came back
up on 7044 [where I previously been] when I powered it up. It's
repeatable, did it multiple times. K3 seems to be working fine
otherwise I have the general coverage BPF, no sub-rx, and it doesn't
seem to be mode-dependent ... tune across this huge signal and
everything freezes.
This does not seem to be a problem for me, just a mystery. The signal
that triggers it is huge. It's getting dark in the shack now [another
totally unrelated problem having nothing to do with Elecraft, K3, or
my eyesight but really annoying], I'll try tomorrow and see if it is
still repeatable.

PS: I don't know if CHU is still on the air or if so, where. Years
ago it was just above 7300 and very useful for those who did not have
general coverage receivers that could get to WWV.
