Replacement ear pads are available, but the internal wiring is very fragile. I managed to get the replacements on, but broke a wire. After three breaks and four re-solderings, there wasn’t enough wire left to work with, so I bought a new headset. The Koss UR-20 is the same headphones as the

You're welcome, Mike. With Wayne's permission, I did a copy and paste from the PDF manual into Excel, but that was several yeas ago, so it doesn't include the most recent firmware updates. With my K3S, I keep track of the settings the old fashioned way, by writing them down on a printed copy

John, It sounds like you need to adjust the BFO settings for the FL1 SSB filter. You can do that in receive. It is best if you do that using a visual aid like an audio spectrum analyzer to be able to see the position of the filter passband in the audio spectrum. Spectrogram is one such

The easiest way to do this is simply to save the preferred/standard configuration using K3 utility. And after other fingers have been at the radio, restore that saved configuration. There’s no reason to have to look through individual menu settings. Grant NQ5T > On Nov 2, 2020, at 9:57 AM,
