Looking for suggestions here from someone that might have experienced this same issue - -
I have (2) K3 units (not the S model) that are acting different when the RF gain adjustments are turned fully counter clockwise. Ø Unit one s/n 1062: When the RF gain is decreased to full counter clockwise position the S-Meter registers full scale (60db over S9) as expected. Ø Unit two s/n 1193: When the RF gain is decreased to full counter clockwise position the S-Meter registers only S8. Facts: Ø With the exception of the S-Meter readings with RF gain settings, both units are working fine Ø Both units have almost all mods installed. If not all, they are at least both the same. Ø Both units are running the same version of microcode (5.54) (2.88) (2.88) (1.26) Ø Both units seem to register very close actual RF gain of stations when connected when tested on the same antenna Ø Both units have the new synthesizers. Ø Both units have second RX Ø In both cases (both units) I can hear the audio level decreasing linearly as expected as the RF gain is turned counter clockwise I have tried to initialize the K3 and reload the firmware resulting in no change to the RF gain / S-Meter readings. Elecraft Tech Support suggested: Ø Calibrating the s-meter did nothing Ø Next suggestion send the rig to California. Anyone have this issue and fixed it?? 73, Bruce N1LN ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
