I tried reloading the firmware and that didn't work so I did a full system reset on the K3. I re-entered my filters, options, and setting then performed a power calibration but not a synthesizer. It seems to be working again. It's just odd that it only seemed to be in that specific range. 73

It wouldn't be a good idea to depend on the transceiver. If you are operating USB, for example, you have to keep the (suppressed) carrier frequency several kHz below the top of the band so your sideband will be inside it; same for LSB and the bottom of the band. Even in CW there is a
