Hello Harald,
It is probably best to repost this report to the list as there are
many there far more knowledgeable about the K3 and what to expect,
than me on it. With that, I am sending your reply directly to the
list along with my reply to you.
When I press Rev, I get no flashing XREV IN, it simply says XREV IN
and then disappears after maybe one second. At that time it returns
to REF CAL and within moments the asterisk is flashing. As I recall,
initially it took a bit longer for the asterisk to appear, but it did
and then it took some time for the REF CAL numerical readout to
stabilize. Once stabilized I pushed A/B to save that value in memory.
Write down your REF CAL number and then when you feel you have done
all the right things, slowly turn VFO A and if you are locked in with
the 10 MHz source, the letters REF CAL will be replaced with LOCKED.
If this does not happen, return to the number you wrote down to
return to where you were.
Is it possible you do not have a working 10 MHz source?
Is it possible either the connector or coax is not completing the
connection?
Is it possible the pins are not lined up properly in the K3XREF?
At this point, I have no other ideas to help you, hopefully someone
else can offer more.
73 & good luck,
Gary
