Re: [Elecraft] K3 REF*CAL issue - Resolved
I do not know why it was working a few days back and not working now but I found the answer revealed on this web page: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3EXR EF-What-am-I-doing-wrong-td7614721.html It is stated in an addendum that when in REF CAL & you have the external 10 MHz source connected, you have to press 2 on the keypad to enable XREF IN. By doing so the asterisk started in about 10 seconds and all is well, the radio is again properly maintaining the frequency. No idea what made this function stop but this is what it took to start it again. 73, Gary KA1J > I have the K3EXREF installed in this K3.

[Elecraft] K3 REF*CAL issue
I have the K3EXREF installed in this K3. I noticed when I clicked on a signal with the P3 & marker, the signal was off a tad from where it should be. On a hunch I checked REF CAL and the asterisk was missing. I know REF CAL had the flashing asterisk a few days ago. I measured the signal coming from the GPSDO and it was 10.000 0 MHz according to the MFJ analyzer. I had recently put in filters in the K3, a KXV3B and a KIO3B and thought I might have dislodged a coax in the K3 so I assured the integrity of all the coax cables (I have the new synth board). I also assured the K3EXREF was seated properly and there were no obvious loose components. I cannot get the asterisk to flash and the board to lock with the 10 MHz signal. I had to manually calibrate to WWV and it was quite off.Does anyone have a suggestion for me to try and get this to sync? I re-read the K3EXREF installation instructions and the board is nicely in place, reloading known good configurations with the K3 utility made no change. Either I borked a setting somewhere in config or I have a failed component. Anyone have this issue before & found a resolution? Thanks. 73, Gary KA1J __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
