Thought I would see if anyone would be interested in a trade involving my KX2
toward a KX3 with some boot on my side.
My KX2 has the tuner, mic and RTC board as well as 2 batteries and charger.
Box, manual and power cord.
I would want the KX3 to have the tuner, filter and charger/clock board.
Scott,
Remove the knob and try turning the potentiometer shaft without the
knob. If the potentiometer has stops as expected, the potentiometer is
OK, and you have a cracked knob.
Contact Elecraft support to obtain a new knob.

Buck,

I just inspected the knob and sure enough where one of the set screws
goes into the knob is a fine crack the full length of the knob, top to
bottom so to speak. So I guess I'm off to Elecraft to see if the knobs
are still free or not.
I vaguely recall reading

If you look at the knob carefully, you will probably discover it is
cracked. Request a replacement from Elecraft.

Also are you connecting the computer audio to the rear? And are you using

The USB on the rear should connect directly to the computer.

You may have to adjust the PWR slider on the right side of the WSJT-X display.
Set the power you wish to operate using PWR control on the radio.
Do not use the suggestions of others UNLESS they have a K3S. ICOM, Kenwood &
Yaesu radios do not set up and operate like an Elecraft.

Thank you for the response, Ed. Why discipline the OXCO, or even the DOXCO?
Because you can.
Because the ability is there to progressively steer the correction

Lots of reasons, not the least of which is not having to open a chassis

I'll add I seem to have an all-or-none limit in adjusting my MIC Gain - it's

That depends on how the external reference is used.
The K3 uses a counter lock scheme that does NOT change the phase noise of
the internal oscillator. This is real obvious if you measure the 'locked'
oscillator. When locked it still drifts around +/- 0.5 Hz. This is just
marginally good enough
In this podcast Eric gives a very interesting talk on various factors that
influence receiver performance. The entire audio program is well worth
listening to:

I don't think that is correct. Nothing touches the TCXO, the VCTRL pin
is not used. The EXREF module just reads the actual ref frequency and
that information is used to set up the synths. As the TCXO drifts the
synths just use the new measured ref frequency.

The never ending user menu choices is what makes the K3 so great. Each
user can customize their K3 to suit their individual needs, desires, and
purposes. It is unlikely that the term "one size fits all" will ever
apply to the K3.
