Thanks. I actually would be using my Mac but since I was not sure if the Mac was as up to date with the K3 utility I decided to use my Windows laptop after I dusted it off and booted it up.
I am going to use WWV tomorrow when I can get a good 15 MHz WWV signal. No luck on trying that tonight. I do copy the 5 MHz WWV signal pretty well but the owner's manual says to use the highest frequency for best accuracy. However, I must not have the latest version of the K3 utility even though I downloaded it tonight. Did I download the wrong version. Here let me check. I have version 1.2.12.28. 73, phil, K7PEH On Jan 6, 2010, at 6:53 PM, Dick Dievendorff wrote: > The Mac version of the K3 Utility doesn't yet have the means to enter the > TCXO data.
