I wondered if someone (Mike W5JR) would mention the N1MM feature to
randomise spots frequencies on the Bandmap so that you DONT call on Zero
beat.
I use this feature and it works of course but you often wonder if this is
the best tactic especially if you feel you are not getting a response
within
Perhaps what we are seeing here is the cumulative error of the transceivers in
the chain.
The DX tunes the rig to 14023 and calls CQ, but their transceiver is just a bit
off frequency for one reason or another, so they are really on 14022.95.
The spotting station’s transceiver is also a bit
I have noticed the same problem on both my K3 and K3S. I would think the spots
and the K3/K3S frequencies would be the same a lot more often than they are.

If you're talking about the spots in the bandmap, the difference is
probably your BFO pitch offset.
Switch sidebands, and you'll see the mark on the other
Most of my CW work is on nets. Otherwise, pse QNZ. If one is not on
frequency, one is not heard.

Not really, and for several reasons. First, many skilled CW ops use a
fairly wide bandwidth in a pileup so that they hear off-frequency
callers.
And in a pileup the RX bandwidth is narrower. At 50 Hz BW any 12 to 15 Hz away
aren't heard. Yes a higher frequency tone will appear louder.

N1MM+ Logger, maybe others, have a feature that is selectable on/off (defaults
to on) that randomizes the actual frequency used to populate their bandmap from
incoming spots.
As another poster mentions, in a contest, DON’T ZEROBEAT if you haven’t got the
absolute strongest signal. Much easier
I use the SPOT feature on my K3S to zero beat the carrier on WWV. This gets
me to +/- 1Hz. If it is more I'm inclined to tweak the reference such that it
is accurate.
As to posting spots, I usually post to the nearest 1 KHz. Thus from
experience, I have little confidence in the display
If I call you in a contest, you’ll prob hear me 13-29 Hz high/low. I “zero”
beat to hear you best and set K3 XIT to 13/20 Hz offset. Hope you’ll hear me
standout over the others who zero beat and all come back on same freq.

We're looking at this right now. It must have crept in with a recent release.
I'll post here as soon as I have an update.

Ever since I have owned my K3, I have noticed that most spots put the
K3's receiver above the actual frequency of the spotted station.
Initially, I thought this might have to do with DX spots being rounded
to the nearest 100 Hz, but then I realized that, if that were the case,
X percent of
Support got back to me. The tuner firmware guy is looking into it.
Stay tuned...

My KPA1500 tuner responds to CAT commands from my Flex radio and doesn’t miss a
beat.
So CAT seems to be fine but AUX connection is “intermittent”?

This is exactly what happened to me. Very annoying. My KPA is in the shop
repairing the blown final and I hope they can address this issue as well. My
thinking is that if a tuned solution for a given frequency is already known
then it should be set as soon as the radio QSYs there.

If HiSWR AUTOTUNE is enabled, this would be the expected behavior.
However, ATU switching at the start of transmission sometimes happens
even with it disabled.
Elecraft is working on the ATU firmware in relation to this issue. I
noticed it some time ago. Even with the HiSWR AUTOTUNE turned
Hi Joe,
Let us know if you have any question about the SideKar Plus.
It was specifically made to enhance your RTTY, PSK, and CW experience when
using the KX2 or KX3.
Plus the messaging and logging features are great when portable. I used
them extensively for my 5300+ NPOTA portable QSOs.
73,
Things to check
Could be bad aux cable. Is it from Elecraft?
Do you have anything else connected to aux?
Are you sure connectors are fully engaged?

I experienced the same thing, especially on 20M. The tuner is
apparently ignoring some of the signals on the AUXBUS line. I put a
scope on that line. I can see, some of the time, the amplifier
responding to the signal with a "clunk" as the tuner relays adjust to
the new segment. The rest
The XFIL button is my least favorite feature of the K3 user interface.
I always use the knob to change the bandwidth — except when I accidentally
don’t hold the button long enough when activating or deactivating the APF,
which I do a lot.
