OK, G4AON and I had a rather difficult QSO this morning and having
spoken on the phone last night and then on 3.775 SSB, we agreed we
both sounded the same, both K3s reading 3.775.000 and I reduced the
DSP to 1.8 and set NR at F1-4 because of the noise.
So, I'm thinking those who say I'm off frequency may have a problem
their end - obviously not K3s :-)
Thanks to those who responded offering a QSO.

Hmmm - I've done the cal quite a few times too - I still get reports
I'm off freq. - the last cal was done by a knowledgeable friend,
using a 5MHz ref source (Racal crystal with oven), closely coupled
to ANT1 input and we got the beat to about 2 seconds (a peak every 2
secs or so) - I still get reports I'm off freq. - I thought this was
me.
will watch this thread with interest.
Any UK K3 owners who 'know' they are well on like to have a sched?

I have the K3 put together, went well, but I am having a problem. I
did the reference oscillator calibration using an Agilent frequency
counter with a GPS reference (I use this setup to set my 100Mhz
reference on 6GHz digital microwave equipment). I was testing
tonight with my friend and he was having trouble hearing me,
stating I was off frequency on TX. Our dials matched for me to hear
him fine, and he never had issues when I had the K2 running, our
dials matched. I checked my TX on my IFR1900 and found I was low in
freq by 900 Hz. XIT is off. Filters are FM in FL1, AM in FL2, 2.7
in FL3, and 500Hz in FL4. Data was entered from the crystal filters
properly (I think, looks fine). Where should I look to find the
trouble? I'm stuck on AM right now since it is more forgiving
frequency wise.
