Go to a WWV signal, (5.00) on a Good Strong Frequency.
Place the Mode To Upper SSB, Listen to the Beat note Tone Freq,
Now Move the Mode to Lower SSB. Adjust the Ref. Cal. Osc. until the Beat Note
is the Exact Same Freq
On Lower SSB and Upper SSB. Done

You had it fixed, but then you broke it again. After doing the
alternative method on page 49, when you tune in to 10. MHz in CW
mode, you should hear a CW note at the same frequency as your PITCH
selection. I presume that is 400 Hz.
I got an extremely good score on last year's Frequency
Pete,
When using WWV to set the K3 reference, make certain you are listening
to the carrier. WWV is an AM signal that is modulated by a 500 or 600
Hz tone on alternate minutes (440 Hz 2 minutes after the hour). That
produces tones that are both above and below the carrier.
So be certain you
Snowy,
It sounds as though you have the proper BFO crystals installed at X3 and X4.
Do check the values of C173 and C174 first
Then check L33 to make certain it is well soldered and the leads are
attached to the 1/8 watt resistor leads.
Check D37 and D38 to be certain they are oriented
What are you using it for?

Hi Pete,
The WWV method worked for me until it didn’t. On the advice of one of the K3
gurus, I am now using a Leo Bodnar frequency source. Works great.

having repaired my PLL problem with a great deal of help and advice from
Dave at tech support, Elecraft i moved onto the next set of tests which
was the bfo frequencies, on selecting CAL, Counter i get a reading of
4.9136, on pressing either the band up or down all i get is zero's.

I've been wondering for some time if my 10-year-old K3's frequency
calibration was off, because it seemed like most spots of me were well
off when I clicked on them, usually in one direction. Not having a
frequency counter, I went to the alternative method outlined in page 49
of the manual.
For me, the best noise blanker was on my old Drake R4C. That thing
worked GREAT!

I find both the NB and NR on my K3 to be moderately underwhelming, not
sure why. Ignition noise used to predominate in urban and suburban
areas and blankers
