I would think it would be best to use: The Yellow (ones 6.8-45pf) at  C44 & C46 (10/12 m) since the schematic calls for 5-30pf The White with Red dot ceramic trimmers (8-50 pf) at C19 and C23 (20/30m) since the schematic calls for a 50pf trimmer C32 and C34 should also be 5-30 as per the

Chuck, WHAT?? Did you have 4 ceramic trimmers with red dots on the side? The same as that used for C22 on the Control Board? Those normally will not work for the 12 meter bandpass at C44 and C46. The large yellow plastic trimmers should go at C32 and C34, and the ceramic trimmers with

Bob, You have too much capacitance at C32 and C34. Contact Elecraft support and ask them to send 2 trimmer caps to replace C44 and C46. The ones you have with your kit do not have a small enough minimum capacitance. The p/n you need is E540011 and the bodies were red the last time I saw

When the K3/0 is connected to the K3, the rP or Fp menu sets the condition of the K3, not the K3/0. When the K3/0 is not connected, the setting changes the K3/0. But I have had much better luck with connecting directly to the mic input om the RRC control, so try that if you can. 73 John N5CQ
