If you have the tuning step 10Hz, tune to, say, 7.200.56 and then switch to coarse tuning, the display will show 7.200.5. But this 60Hz offset will still be present. Then no matter how you tune at the coarse setting, you will mistune. To fix that you should always reset the fine tuning offsets

Swapping side bands can happen behind your back. I was part of a multi-multi activating Kings County in the California QSO Party. My assignment was 10M SSB. The first contact suggested I would be more successful if I switched from LSB to USB. I have no idea how I swapped the sideband. I guess

Make sure you use USB for 20 meters and LSB for 40. SSB sounds awful if you use the “wrong” sideband. Also make sure the PBT has not shifted, it should be normally very close to centered. 14 MHz and higher typically use USB, and lower frequencies typically use LSB. Sorry if this sounds too

Mike, That problem sounds a bit like the Calibration of the Reference Oscillator is off a bit.  See tha manual and use the Zero-Beating method as instructed. There is a chance it will help, but no harm if it does not. If you did not get the paper manual, download it from Elecraft. 73, Don

Hi Al, I bought it used, so I'm not sure when exactly it started.  All SSB stations are sounding like mistuned ones, no matter how I tune the VFO. Sometimes it's better (less artifacts) when it is a little bit lower, but it sounds unnatural. AM seems to be fine. Of course, the first thing I

Hi, Mike, This issue comes up regularly here. It sounds like this is a new problem with the K3S? Or has it always been like this? There are so many settings that could have changed. You'd have to list them all for us. I assume that you know about the receive equalizer, AFX, and DSP, all of

Listening to the K3S audio had become very fatiguing for me as of late. It sounds like hum or carrier is mixed in at the low end. It is very similar to the sound, if you tune a little bit higher on USB. I checked the same stations on my KX3, they sounded great. Used the same headphones in both
