Jim,
I have the same issue and I noticed it after I installed the DVR, however
I'm not sure the two events are connected. I sent a note to K3Support and
they said this is a firmware issue they are fixing. I have not loaded 3.68
yet to see if the fix is in there, but it really isn't a big deal
To All
Your input was helpful and appreciated, Thanks.
Problem solved.
It was the Rf Gain Calibration that caused the problem.
Initial run was done using a MacPro running Snow Leporad problem may
have started here. ( will check into that tomorrow)

Jim
I've had exactly your problem (and sorry for rather late response).
I'm using Windows (so it's not that) and it's not the encoder/pot, it's the
rf gain calibration. I've posted on this before and there's been a change
to the rf gain setup since f/w 3.27. Wes has also mentioned that fets have a
Lyle and I will look into this issue when he gets back from vacation.

Hi Jim,
Are you by any chance running the RF gain calibration with the Linux
or Mac version of the K3 Utility? An earlier release of the Mac
version and the current release of the Linux version seem to have some
problems with RF gain calibration. Everything seems to go right
during and i

I agree. The meter is just a proxy for what is happening to the gain, which is
a real problem.

Wes,
The s-meter indications are really no more than a nuisance. But the RF
gain behavior is something I need to address.
I am using the latest utility and firmware.
Will start from scratch again (third time) see if anything changes

In working with Lyle on earlier versions of the rf calibration I saw some of
this same action. In some cases, the s-meter wouldn't even reach FS at min RFG.
You might try backing off to factory defaults and starting over, making sure
you have the latest utility.

Jim,
The gain controls are potentiometers, not encoders, so yes, you could
have a bad spot on your RF Gain control such that the resistance has a
"bump" in it near the 9:30 position.
Firmware efforts are not likely to fix it if the pot itself has a
resistance bump.

Jim,
You say that when you do the S-meter calibration the gain control operates as
you expect, but is somehow different otherwise.
First, I hope you mean the rf gain calibration, which isn't calibrating the
S-meter but trying to compensate the ill-defined gain v. volts curve of the

The problem is with the main RF gain. If I turn down the Main RF gain S
