Also, Check to see that you are not on COARSE tuning. In SSB mode, you can
easily be off frequency when the COARSE setting is chosen. I have
experienced this recently and when I turned off coarse, I was able to tune
the rig onto frequency. It seems that COARSE had me in the "ball park"
but

Mel,
The answer depends on whether or not you define "zero beat" correctly -
which is to tune in the signal to the same pitch as your SPOT tone.
In other words, your statement "match my K3 frequency to his" is not
sufficiently informative. It all depends on how you match his
frequency.

Another thing to check (and I assume CW operation) - make sure you are

I dial in the frequency, zerobeat, I want and use the pitch or RIT to get the
"sound" I want.

For all those having some similar occurrance - first make sure RIT and
XIT are turned off. The yellow LED in the lower left corner of the K3
should be off for both transmit and receive.

Dick,
It is easy to check your K3 or K3S (or any other radio). I suggest you
do so before concluding that your radio is off frequency.
Tune to WWV at the highest frequency you can receive in CW mode and zero
beat the carrier - you can use CWT if you are not good at zero-beating.
Make sure
I have a K3 kit that's been back to the factory for repair and alignment,
and a K3S that was factory made and aligned. Regardless which one I'm
using, most of the time when I get "spotted" by RBN, my frequency is listed as
being 100hz higher than listed on the K3's front panel digital
All true. Note that the standard oscillator takes two hours to stop
drifting instead of four. Also the TCXO isn't. There is no temperature
feedback implemented. One is essentially seeing the stability of the
native oscillator. Too bad feedback isn't implemented, I'd bet a lot of
drift
Yes! Tnx.
Have a great day!

If I understand correctly, your near Fremont CA. I had a two week turn around
in Watsonville for Calibration. The charge was about $100. I drove it there.
Saved the postage charges. Don't forget to call to obtain authorization for
the return. It's also a good time to get hardware updates. Ted
Immediate apologies, this is a tad long but hopefully interesting.
My K3 has the new synths (2), K144XV with REF Lock option and all is
well without doing the KREF3 modification. I guess this is an it either
works or it don't situation.
With respect to the post about off frequency, not a
Steve,
The K3 is not 'known' for being off frequency.
Turn to page 50 and do the Reference Oscillator calibration. If you do
not have a frequency counter that is accurate enough +/-1Hz or better at
49 MHz, you should use Method 2.

KREF3MDKT This modification increases the output levels from the KREF3
Reference Oscillator to provide proper drive levels for K3 transceivers
equipped with a KSYN3A synthesizers the KRX3 or KRX3A sub receiver and the
K144XV 2-meter transceiver.

There is a procedure in the manual under "Calibration
Procedures". "Reference Oscillator". Using WWV can get you close
enough for most uses.

A few of us in Fremont, CA have a weekly 10 meter net. I have a friend with a
K3 who always sounds off frequency. When I use my K3, I've been told that I am
off frequency. There are a couple of KX3 users who don't seem to have a
problem. When I use my Kenwood TS-590 I seem to be on frequency.
