Good job, Drew! I repeated your steps and confirm the same result: 40m is mapped out. Now that it's repeatable it can be fixed. (BTW, I'm running FW 3.11) Same here on FW 3.14 73, Gary ZL2iFB __ Elecraft mailing list Home:

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] Help! Wierd bandswitching problem.

Be aware that roaming outside of the ham bands can cause them to get mapped out. Then you have to go back into Config Band Map to reset them to IN. This happens to me frequently. 73, Drew AF2Z On Thu, 14 May 2009 18:56:53 -0700 (PDT), Bill NZ0T wrote: All of a sudden tonight I can't get to

That should not happen, that's not user-friendly at all. I trust this will be addressed at a firmware update. David G3UNA Subject: Re: [Elecraft] [K3] Help! Wierd bandswitching problem. Be aware that roaming outside of the ham bands can cause them to get mapped out. Then you have to go

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] Help! Wierd bandswitching problem.

I've rediscovered the pleasures of SWLing again and have spent much time snooping around the bands, particularly the broadcast bands. There have been no band mapping problems here and no rig control software is in use as I'm into DIY HI! But seriously, no problems at all encountered on v3.14

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] Help! Wierd bandswitching problem.

I tune out of band on a regular basis for SWLing and have no such problem. If you're using rig control software, I suggest you look in that area. 73, Mac, KR0I **An Excellent Credit Score is 750. See Yours in Just 2 Easy Steps!

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] Help! Wierd bandswitching problem.

I don't use rig control software. I do use ACLog to log and downloaded and starting using K3_EZ the other day and that may be what caused the problem. At least now I know what is happening and can resolve any future problems. 73, Bill, NZ0T I tune out of band on a regular basis for SWLing and

All of a sudden tonight I can't get to 160, 80 and 30 meters with the band up/down button on the K3. Thinking it might be a glitch with 3.14 I downloaded 3.06 (next newest I have saved) but the problem still exists. I can access the bands by direct frequency entry and my memories on those bands

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] Help! Wierd bandswitching problem.

Hi Bill, Yes, a similar thing has happened to me several times. Sometimes after a FW upgrade, and sometimes just out of the blue. Check the band map (CONFIG: BND MAP). With the BND MAP entry up, cycle through the bands with the band switch button and see if 1.8, 3.5, and 10.0 got set to
