To enter a 600m frequency on the K3, say 506 KHz, use this sequence: [FREQ ENT] 0506 [ENTER]
where [ENTER] is the AFX button. If you are going to listen on 600m it might be helpful to manually tune the ATU for optimum reception: First select KAT3= LCSET in the Config menu; then exit the config menu and press ATU TUNE. You can then adjust CA or CT with the VFO-A knob, and adjust L with the VFO-B knob. Switch between CA/CT with the ANT button. (When you are done with 600m don't forget to switch Config: KAT3 back to AUTO, and retune the ATU on 160m if you use that band.Otherwise the K3 will try to use your manual settings for 160m.) 73, Drew AF2Z On Sun, 01 Mar 2009 10:07:34 -0600, Mike WE0H wrote: >I'll copy this to the reflector...I don't have that answer Phil.
