Re: [Elecraft] K3 FC issue with filters

[ab2tc]

Hi,

Now we are cooking. I am glad you found the real problem. There is virtually
0 probability that reloading the same firmware will fix anything. There is
no such thing as a "busted firmware load" except the kind that leaves the
"CPU load" or similar message indicating that the bootloader firmware has
detected that the main software is faulty. This is typically caused by
either a power failure, communications interruption or similar problem
during firmware reload. File corruptions on the PC are extremely rare and
should it happen, the bootloader will detect that, too.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 FC issue with filters

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

I called the Elecraft to get some help with this.  After removing the K3 
out of line, removed computer control, amps, tuner etc. The problem was 
gone.


I was running radio control with my logging software.  I found a tab 
where that software was sending the odd FC offsets.


Just like computers, always go back to the most basic configuration 
possible and see if the problem is there if not then start adding in 
pieces until you find the cause.


Thanks for help everyone and as usual the folks at Elecraft were quick 
to call me back and get me on track.


Thanks from an embarrassed K3 owner.

Am I missing something here?  Is this maybe a firmware glitch?

That would be "The passband is per band, per mode." ?

Re: [Elecraft] K3 FC issue with filters

[Don Wilhelm]

Mike,

The passband is per mode, per mode.
You will have better results if you use HiCut/LoCut for SSB and 
SHIFT/WIDTH for CW.


Attempting to us SHIFT/WIDTH for SSB will give you uncertain results 
since the last used settings on a particular band will be restored when 
you go back to that band.

[Elecraft] K3 FC issue with filters

setting is not the default or * setting.  I keep picking normal and then 
when I change bands it reverts back to some setting that sounds terrible.
