I have got my K3 set up so that the number keys act as band keys. Each
number key is assigned to a band and is activated by pressing the MV key
and then the appropriate number key.
The memory set up included memorising the VFO B frequency the same as VFO A
or sometimes a different frequency
Further to my earlier email I have solved the problem !
It is because following loading the latest firmware I had set VFO IND in the
config menu to YES. Restoring it to NO restores my previous memory
functions. Clearly I can't have it both ways !

Just 12 days to go to FDIM and we are still getting new registrations
If you intend to go and have not yet registered, PLEASE do so at
www.fdim.qrparci.org
Registrations are accepted at the door but it makes life so much
easier (and the queues so much shorter if you register and pay in
advance).
Many thanks to W6NIA,NT6A,N5GE, AB7R for advice and
suggestions, but still no success. Finally went to Elecraft
Utility, did a update and turned the radio off.
What software were you using when the K3 was put into the
low power mode? If your software is using the K22 enhanced
command
When I power up on the initial board test, I get only two backward h's in the
right portion of the LCD.
Any idea what the problem is? I went back over the work and reheated solder
joints. I went through the manual again checked that I had instsalled all
to this point. U1 seems
to be seated
That is the answer Joe. I was caught on this using K3 EZ program. I was doing
a SWR plot on my antenna and it set it to low power and did not set it back. I
had to look around to see what was going on but figured it out. I hope that
gets fixed.

U1 appears to be the wrong part. It should say KX1 1.02.

Thanks Craig. It was the only 28 pin IC included. I wonder what the XV

XV 1.6e is a transverter part. I bet it got tossed into the wrong bin in
the kitting area. I'm sure Elecraft will send you a replacement on Monday if
you ask.
The good news is it lights up, so power must be getting to at least some of
the parts. :-)

Matt,
Check the crimp pins in the connector housing - that is the most common
place for the probe to fail. The pins must be inserted correctly into
the housing and the small tabs must lock into the rectangular holes in
the side of the housing. If the wire has been inserted too far into the
Mike,
Craig is correct - that firmware chip is for the XV series of transverters.
Send a note to pa...@elecraft.com and request the correct KX1 firmware
chip - the label should say KX1 1.02.
Someone apparently put XV firmware chips into the KX1 bin when they were
programmed. Sorry you have to
The frequency is 3630 KHz plus or minus the QRM.
Normally the start time is 1000 hours (local) which is 0900 UTC.
I will try starting earlier at 0900 hours local (0800 UTC) in an
effort to try and improve on the poor 80m propagation we have
been experiencing recently. The net will probably run
I turned my K2 on after is sat a while, and hit the tune button to tune the
antenna, and got crazy indications, D16 and D17 in the KPA100 are blown.
Is there nothing that can be done about these diodes blowing so easy?
I need to order a set from Elecraft, but I leave all the other radios hooked
Hi Julian. You should be seeing readings around -30 or better.
Are you using PSK-D with the paddles or a soundcard program with Data-A?
Set your soundcard output level to about 30-40%. Then with the K3 in
Data/Data-A mode start with the line-in gain at 1(MIC gain control
becomes Line-in
Brett,
I do not know how many other radios have wattmeters directly at the
antenna jack, so I really can't compare others.
You can place a high value resistor (1k or greater - that is 20 times
the 50 ohm impedance) across the antenna and see if that helps. An RF
Choke could also be used for
Dear Elecrafters,
What do I need to set on the K3 to get a constant carrier CW signal when I
press the PTT button? This would be primarily used for amplifier tuning
into a dummy load.

Jim,
Press TUNE instead of PTT.

Would like to thank Ron AC7AC, Gary AB7MY and Dale at Elecraft support for

Spring is definitely here; the wind is howling and the rain has been

Hi gang,
The weekly Elecraft SSB net will meet tomorrow (Sunday, 5/3/09) at 1800Z.
We will start at 14.316 MHz, and QSY if needed. The net control is in
western Oregon, but we will need a good east coast or midwest station to
relay a few west coast signals that may be too close to net control.
