Hi all,
I have been playing with the RF gain calibration procedure on my K3. I have
used my XG1 as a signal source after fitting a new battery :)
What I found had surprised me. If I turn down the RF gain, I cannot
completely lose a signal. The RF gain will not move the s-meter about about
s7.
Have you recalibrated the S-meter since you did the RF Gain Cal on the
K3? I found that to be necessary.

Yes I did Ken. In fact I have just been through all the calibration steps,
leaving the S-meter one until last. It just seeks odd that the RF agin
seems very low now.

Hi Ian,
Some earlier versions of the K3 Utility for Mac and Linux would
produce the symptoms you describe. If you're using a Mac or Linux box
to do the procedure and don't have the latest version of the K3
Utility, I would recommend updating the K3 Utility and trying the gain
calibration
The release notes for MCU 3.94 indicate that there is an available K3
Memory Manager. That sounds very useful, especially with the K144XV, but I
don't see it anywhere. Has anyone found it? Please excuse me if I'm being
dense here!

It's not quite ready for release. It's being beta tested and there are
still a few things to be fixed.
Yes, it is useful.

Been a strong defender and daily user of ESSB in spite of some attackers to

memory,in fact I don't even have a single freq recorded in my memory,I was only
interested in the fact that I could use different EQ
Hi gang,
The weekly Elecraft SSB net will meet tomorrow (4/18) at 1800Z on 14.314

I will be net control from Oregon, with help from some eastern relays. I
look forward to hearing you
all. Join us.

Run the calibration step again. I had to do it 3 times before it would behave
itself. My symptoms were somewhat similar to yours. Be very careful to
follow the instructions exactly and especially make sure you have the test
signal centered in the very narrow passband specified. After the 3rd
I almost hate to ask, but could someone send me the link to the knob in
question? I've seen a lot of traffic but never did see a link. Uh, send it
to me offlist please.

I purchased a K3/10 last year at Dayton, I FINALLY got it together. I tried to
fire it up after doing what they tell me to do in the manual. So far I've only
heard a weak signal on 20 mtr. Appears to be no transmit signal.
Gary from Elecraft has been trying to help me, maybe I'm beyond help or

I have never heard of them fixing anything at Dayton, but I am sure they can
fix you up at Aptos. I had a similar experience, much to my embarrasment
because I like to think I can fix things. I sent my K3 to Aptos and Rene had
it fixed in short order. Gary will tell you when it is time to
Well said, Cookie. I like to remind myself occasionally about the engineers

God grant

courage to fix the things I can;
It could be added that time is also a part of the prayer along with Haste

I ask this question b4 about this error,
but didn't get or understand any replies I received.
So Last time I needed to check/upgrade my firmware,
I just used an ftp pgm to download the files and placed them in the
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\Elecraft\K3 Firmware directory
Just like I figured it had to be operator error.
now I know I have to do it differently if I am trying to use beta software,
thanks Dick!

Has anyone else not been getting the Elecraft Digests of late?
The last one I received was Volume 72 Issue 29 and that was 4/20/2010.
There must have been at least 6 since then with all the noise on here
since the unveiling of the P3 and KPA500

I don't know what I did but I used to have the ESSB off and on function on M3
(digital voice recorder.) I can't get it back and I want a quick function
instead of going back into the main menu? Do I need to download an update? I
hit a function button by accident. How do you clear all the memories

Applies to those who have a FM filter installed.
The FM filter is locked out on all modes except for AM and FM.
I switch to AM synchronous. I can then select the appropriate filter 13 or 6khz.

This is very late. I almost forgot to send it out! Oh well I had a busy
