[Elecraft] K3: BAND up/down problem with FW 3.56 and later

2009-11-15 Thread Brian Machesney
Since installing v3.56 and continuing with v3.57, the front panel BAND control always takes me to 5.975 MHz in AM-S when I try to QSY to 40m. I can get to 7.xxx MHz frequencies via keypad and logging programs, but not via BAND control. Any ideas on what's going on? -- 73 -- Brian -- K1LI

Brian, What is the chance that you did some SWLing and tuned downward fro 40 meters to 5.975 - and subsequently either powered off or changed bands? The K3 dutifully remembers your last used frequency on 40 meters. Try doing a Direct Frequency Entry to get things back within the real 40 meter

Steve, Thanks for your suggestion - BND MAP was, indeed, the culprit. I had disabled 60m, but it somehow got re-enabled. 73 -- Brian -- K1LI On Sun, Nov 15, 2009 at 8:33 AM, Steve Ellington n...@carolina.rr.comwrote: Go to config/BND MAP. Scroll through the bands and make sure 7.0 is IN.

You probably have 40m mapped out. See Config: Bnd Map A similar thing can happen when you wander out of the ham bands. The problem is that the K3 considers 40m (for example) to exend all the way down into the 49m SWBC band as far as the BAND switch is concerned. The K3 boundary between 40m and
