At one point, CMP would reset whenever I changed bands on my KX3. I did an EEINIT and reloaded the config, which fixed it.
Make sure you have a saved config before you EEINIT. The radio needs the config values to work properly. wunder K6WRU Walter Underwood CM87wj http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) > On Dec 5, 2018, at 4:38 AM, Gerry leary via Elecraft > <elecraft@mailman.qth.net> wrote: > > Hello everybody, I have found that at least in my KX three the equalizer > settings appear to be negated when I turn compression on.
