1) Clear the memories for the band. Enter Config then go to KAT3 and

Has anyone done a burn in on their radios to test? They rate to 100W
100% duty cycle for 10 minutes. I'm sure there is quite a bit of
headroom in that too. Has anyone tested to that? Do any of the
Elecraft guys object to that type of testing?
I had a strange failure at FD this year and worry
So am I to assume that the 8-pole filters are not going to need to worry
about this as they are all at 0 anyway? What is the advantage of
getting two matched pairs of 5-pole filters when you can get two 8-poles
for only 10 bucks a filter more?
I'm assuming that its 100 + 100 + 30 for matched 5-po
I agree that sounds like a pretty good test.
The K3 is a PHENOMENAL radio and I'm very familiar with things breaking
in their infancy. I'm just hoping that the kinks are very well buried
when it comes back. Appreciate the tips on what you did

Yes I'm still working on keeping stats...

Totally agree. I was somewhat appreciative that FD helped me find the
problem as soon as possible and was wondering if solid type TX would be
a good way to do an accelerated test. From what I'm hearing now and I
agree a FD simulation w/ full QSK running is probably more real world.

Sorry for the added bandwidth but for worry of the rig getting broken I
vote to no have a fix implemented. In my mind I consider the 20 meter
band below the 10 meter band. So yes when I press DOWN on a band switch

You need to do the rotation while still holding the knob in.

Now we've got 3 separate threads asking people not to have separate
threads... How ironic... :)

I find that the narrower filters take out a lot of the noise before it
hits the DSP and it can even make just rag chew conditions nicer in my
very electrically noisy area. Actually I'm quite excited that once I
get my K3 back that I can set the 250Hz filter to be able to use it up
at 350. I even
Being tha t it was mentioned that best responses seem to be with a
roofing filter wider than 300Hz and then he mentioned the "250Hz" filter
wouldn't you deduce that he meant the 370Hz filter which Elecraft calls
250Hz? I mean maybe I'm jumping to conclusions here but that was pretty
clear to me.
at the roofing filter needs to be wider than 300 and he therefore uses
the 8-pole 250 Hz filter which it seems clear you know is 370Hz and
therefore fits the build of what is required. Then behind that he has a
200Hz filter at the DSP IF.

This is in a completely different area but trust me on this one... See
if you can find R66 on t he bottom of the RF board toward the right side
of the unit when you're looking at the unit from the front. Its just
above Q8 and Q9. Measure the resistance of R66 and post that here.
