Re: [Elecraft] K3 Main RF Gain problem

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. On 09-12-23 0:59 , Wes

I'm with Don on this one.  In my TS-870, voice modes use Hi/Lo cut and CW and data modes use Width/Shift by default.  I wish the K3 did the same. Wes  N7WS --- On Tue, 12/29/09, Don Wilhelm w3...@embarqmail.com wrote: From: Don Wilhelm w3...@embarqmail.com Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Filters

simultaneous shifts in the 'BFO and VFO to do the same thing.  I say almost because the DDS step size changes with frequency so the shifts aren't exact and a beat note change can be seen when changing filter shift. Wes  N7WS
