What bands do you want to operate? What advantages or
constraints do you
have in the way of trees
Ken, I hear it weakly on my Carolina Windom that runs right over my computer.
I do not hear it on my SteppIR that is about 200 feet away and 67 feet up.
From that I would suspect that it originates in my computer or possibly router.

I have read on this forum that the startup as shutdown settings are not saved
unless you power down with the POWER button. The K3 reverts to previous
settings if shut down by powering down with the power supply.
I have not experimented with this, but could this be the problem?
Like a

I have K3 #1366 and really like this radio. A lot
to offer in such a
small
package.
