Louis, That is normally a result of one or more unsoldered connections or a poorly soldered connections on either Front Panel U1 or the LCD itself. Check the LCD leads first - you might want to solder them from the top of the board if you do not see solder wicked up onto the leads. U1 is a

Hi Wayne and all at Elecraft. My K3 circa 2/2008 was originally purchased without a KXV3. I may be interested in the KXV3B for my K3 as the K3S FAQ's indicate is possible to do. But the KXV3B manual now on the download page Rev. C dated May 27, 2015 does not mention anything about the

Consider the use of an external battery pack. Starts to get complicated. Perhaps best the way it is and up to the operator to turn the feature on when it's required. The menu system is very quick and easy to use with a little familiarity. 73's Peter VK4JD -Original Message- From:

Maybe you are a bit hasty with the power switch? When the move the VFO knob, the new frequency isn't written into the EEPROM straight away, it will only be written if the knob stays still for a certain period, or if you change another setting like operating mode. This is to keep the number of

Matt, I believe what you said is correct. I was borrowing space in an electronics lab tonight and was working quickly during the final install because others were needing the space. I have since tried waiting (it took me about a minute on frequency) and it is writing to EEPROM correctly. I had
