I encountered a similar problem when calibrating KSYN3 for the subreceiver: ERR DSE E 027979 I turned it off, and back on. I set the sub filters, and redid the auxiliary KSYN3 calibration. All went well, and everything seems to work. A couple of times when I've had problems right after a configuration or calibration change, turning the K3 off and back on has cured whatever the problem was. Nuffin like a cold reboot! 73, George T Daughters, K6GT CU in the California QSO Party (CQP) October 3-4, 2009 _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
