Re: [Elecraft] K3 shift-width/lo-hi
The K3 Utility help explains what gets EE INIT-ed.
Glad it is working.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 shift-width/lo-hi
Keith,
Many thanks for the heads up. I did the gain calibration instinctively
as I did not know if it would be modified by the EE-Init or not, the D10
manual page 66 on parameter initialization does not state.
All working well now and the radio is back to proper operation.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 shift-width/lo-hi
Bill, Many thanks, EE-Init seems to have done the trick, if for no other reason than it set default settings and restored the normal operation. Loading my saved configuration, saved after the problem occurred, created the same problem, no HI-Lo in SSB only on Data and AM. I've now doe a full manual setup of all my filters and modules, I had that info to hand, and saved the current full working configuration. So normal service is restored and the Hi-Lo function is once again working on all modes. Now I just need to brave the 38 degrees C to get outside and climb the tower to work on the antenna.

You are quite right, Vic. It amazes me that I didn't know that since I've used QRQ from day 1 and thought I used SHIFT as well.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 'SHIFT' not functional
While you are on a band/mode/etc where the shift pot isn't working... push and hold "shift", which is the "NORM" function which will reset filtering to default... This may fix it. Just my SWAG.

[Elecraft] K3 'SHIFT' not functional
Hi All, My K3’s ‘SHIFT’ control no longer shifts. It stays at the CW pitch frequency I’ve dialed up as indicated by “FC *0.44”, for example, when I turn the knob. I had been setting up the rig for Field Day (taking out macros, etc.) when this occurred. This is happening in the CW mode. In fact, I just verified that SHIFT works normally in SSB and AM modes. The WIDTH control works normally as well. Searching the manual, it seems that using XFIL can disable SHIFT. Maybe I accidentally hit XFIL. But if I did, how do I go back to normal? When I rotate the WIDTH control, my filters are sequenced in and out as expected. No CAT is currently connected. At least it’s not fatal, but it would be nice to get the function back before Saturday. 73/TU, Nick, WA5BDU __ 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

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] SHIFT/WIDTH in DATA A mode
SYNC DATA provides a very short turnaround time by disabling operations that would require switching the synthesizer frequency between receive and transmit. (This is analogous to CW QRQ mode.) If you have the new synth installed (KSYN3A), the delays will be much shorter even with SYNC DATA turned off. 73, Wayne N6KR On Apr 5, 2015, at 8:27 AM, hb9brj wrote: > I was able to narrow down the problem.

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] SHIFT/WIDTH in DATA A mode
I was able to narrow down the problem. It is related to SYNC DATA (CONFIG:SYNC DT) which forces the same crystal filter to be used for both RX and TX. As long as SYNC DATA is OFF everything works as expected. If SYNC DATA is ON: (1) Toggling between SHIFT/WIDTH and LO/HI CUT is inhibited (2) SHIFT control is inactive (3) LO CUT and HI CUT both act as WIDTH control Am not sure if these limitations are a logical consequence of SYNC DATA ON or an unwanted side-effect. 73, Markus HB9BRJ -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3-SHIFT-WIDTH-in-DATA-A-mode-tp7601016p7601025.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ 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

After a long pause I started to operate in PACTOR again. My K3 behaves differently today compared to earlier firmware some years ago. Current FW is MCU 05.14, FPF 01.19, DSP 02.83. In DATA A mode: (1) PITCH shows N/A, in contradiction to the user manual. Seems to be fixed at 1500 Hz. That's fine with me, as I can adjust the mark/space tones in my PACTOR modem accordingly. (2) SHIFT/WIDTH controls are showing a strange behaviour: Based on the green LEDs next to the 2 controls, only LO/HI CUT is available, SHIFT/WIDTH is not. When moving LO/HI cut, filter graphic and VFO B display are both indicating a LO/HI cut, but what effectively happens is a width variation. Verification is easy: Acoustically or on the P3 display. 73, Markus HB9BRJ -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3-SHIFT-WIDTH-in-DATA-A-mode-tp7601016.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ 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

Things do wear out, sometimes, with products that get nearly continuous use (like K3s). We strive to locate and ship the best-quality parts we can that are compatible with the existing PC boards. And we do improve module designs as time permits. That said, you seem to have an extreme case. If you don't want to incur the cost of having us make these simple repairs or mods, perhaps you can find someone locally in VK--a PC or appliance repair shop, maybe even another ham with the needed tools. We can put together a package deal on all of the parts you think are required to bring your K3 back up to full health.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Shift and Width encoders sluggish
Bad decoders, "Tin" pins, audio/speaker issues, intermittant keypad responses, RIT encoder issue etc have rendered my early K3 pretty useless. Add a very expensive shipping cost to and from the factory prohibitive, mine has now been set aside and earmarked for scrap. Support at Elecraft is excellent and those folks work hard at helping customers but a non-responsive factory let them down badly if you need to discuss your concerns.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Shift and Width encoders sluggish
I think there was a bad batch of decoders or decoders that didn't perform as claimed. I am not sure mine have ever worked right. Unless you have two radios to compare to one would never know and there was never anything sent out that said hey if your encoders are acting wonky you might have got some bad ones. Similar pin issue with the power boards. I am unclear why Elecraft using inferior parts all of sudden became my problem. These are defects and while my K3's are no longer under warranty, the amount of defects and how they are handled will factor in to decision making on future radio purchases. The decoder issue might have been a warranty issue if I knew to look for it.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Shift and Width encoders sluggish
About 756 years ago (actually last month -- it just seems like a long time ago) I sold my K3 and am now waiting for a new one, however with that K3 (that I owned for 5 years), started having issues with Width and Shift encoders. I finally discovered if I turned off QSK and QRQ, those problems disappeared. So you might check the setting of QRQ and QSK to see if that solves the responsiveness of those encoders. 73, Tom - W4BQF -Original Message- From: Elecraft [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of David Cole Sent: Wednesday, March 11, 2015 11:30 AM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 Shift and Width encoders sluggish I am having the same issue with the PWR, Width, and Shift encoders as well... -- Thanks and 73's, For equipment, and software setups and reviews see: www.nk7z.net for MixW support see; http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/mixw/info for Dopplergram information see: http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/dopplergram/info for MM-SSTV see: http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/MM-SSTV/info On Tue, 2015-03-10 at 22:23 -0600, W0MU Mike Fatchett wrote: > They tend to be not very responsive.

[Elecraft] K3: Shift/Width encoder pulse noise?
Greetings reflector fans, I noticed something odd tonight with my K3; something I've never noticed before. I decided to do some SWL'ing around 40m and test out the relatively new Sync-AM feature. All works well but whenever I turn the filter shift or width knobs now, I get a fairly loud encoder pulse noise. This is similar to the VFO encoder hash on 5 MHz that I used to get prior to the hardware/software mod implementation. This enoder pulse/hash sounds loudest when the received signal is strongest, or when using an antenna jack that has an antenna connected. I can't seem to replicate the problem on 20m. Also, when switching over to the sub receiver, rotating the width/shift knobs don't have an effect unless I enter the B-set menu. The noise seems to be present in all modes (AM, CW, Data, USB, and LSB). This is with the latest beta firmware; 3.63. I've just reverted back to 3.42 to see if there's a change, and there isn't (perhaps the hash isn't as loud, but it's still there). I recently replaced my FP due to my original FP's encoders going bad. I have a new FP that I replaced myself. The encoders used in the new FP have a stiffer resistance to turning and don't have the detent feel any more.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Shift
Hi Ken. You can save two unique filter setups using the NORM knob. 1. First, hold NORM to clear any shift to give you a good starting point. 2. Now set desired WIDTH and SHIFT the FC to where you want it. 3. Now do a LONG HOLD of the NORM knob till you see . Rotate the knob while you have it pressed to the left to save your custome filter to setting 1. 4. Do the same process and rotate to the knob to the RIGHT to save setting 2. I do this for SSTV and PSK. Its a quick and easy way to recall a custome filter for digital modes. Also, If you use DXLabs (and I believe others can do this as well but its very easy in DXL) you can enter CAT commands by mode. So when I use WinWarbler and select PSK it automatically sets the shift and the BW, and power output to what I want. No need to go to the radio to make any changes. It just happens.

I'm not sure what I have setup wrong . All filters are 8 pole . With the new shift steps set to 10 hz the shift control knob needs to be set all the way to the left ( 1.28 ) to be centered. Also on 160 M when I rotate the RIT knob fast to change the frequency I have some kind of image, Not sure what this is ??

Re: [Elecraft] K3: Shift is at *61, not where it was before
I have noticed what I think is small but inexplicable change in my K3 shift. Up until a few weeks ago (when I had some other odd issue with the sidetone going to zero hz, thus the crystal filter not seeming to work...) my shift "centre frequency" was 60. That is, that is where I think the normal is and was demarcated by an asterisk, hence it read *60, and then 55, 50, 45 etc going down, and then when going back up the 60 had the *60 marker. Now the marker is *61. Things still go down and up in 5 hz increments when shifting but the default/normal marked is *61. Why is this? What happened? I don't really discern much diffence (being doing contacts in cw with no problem) .. but the mystery of how this changed and how to change it back (simply to be back to 5 hz steps...?) is pestering me. And yes, my tired eyes don't see much of anything on this in the manuals. But then again my wife has to find my jam for breakfast. tnx Brien Pepperdine VE3VAW Toronto __ 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
[Elecraft] K3 SHIFT / WIDTH oddity
Hey Folks, I'm trying to determine whether an oddity I'm experiencing with the DSP filter is unique to my K3, or might be a general firmware bug. I'm using the beta 3.19 firmware, but have not tried it on earlier versions to see if it's unique to 3.19. I have the 13 kHz, 2.7 kHz, and 400 Hz filters installed. 1. Go to a clear spot on any band (i.e. no signals, just noise). CW mode. 2. Set the "SHIFT" control to the minimum value (FC 0.15 on my rig). 3. Set the "WIDTH" control to BW 1.20. Note the sound of the noise. 4. Rotate the "WIDTH" control CCW. At BW 1.00, there's a drastic change in the noise. The low frequencies disappear. 5. Continue rotating "WIDTH" CCW. At BW 0.85, the low frequencies re- appear and remain present through the minimum width (BW 0.05) Here are (very rough) readings I took of the -6 dB points with Spectrogram: BWf lo f hi 1.20 145 689 1.10 183 695 1.00 360 586 0.95 358 574 0.90 365 574 0.85 166 501 0.80 168 490 0.75 181 480 The shift on the low frequency end by nearly an octave between 1.0 and 0.90 is clearly visible. Note that throughout these readings, the XFIL display indicated FL2 (my 2.7 kHz) filter was being used. If anyone else can reproduce this, please let me know. 73 -- Joe KB8AP __ 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
Re: [Elecraft] K3: shift granularity: suggestion
To me the current granularity with SHIFT/WIDTH (50 Hz) is fine. With LO/HI it is 100Hz, which is too high for LO. Also, LO often changes from 0.00 to 0.20 in one step, and taking it to 0.10 takes an extra step. Seems like a bug.

[Elecraft] K3: shift granularity: suggestion
Wayne said, We're planning to improve SHIFT granularity (etc.) in a future firmware release. I hope that this will be an added option in the CONFIG. menu. I like it the way it is now (fast)...at least for cw. I am really not looking forward to having to "spin" that tiny knob to move in 10hz steps. de Doug KR2Q ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

[Elecraft] K3 SHIFT/WIDTH QUESTION
Just finished SN/1542.. One probably operating question I have is about the SHFIT/WIDTH in CW. In the II mode the controls work as advertised but in the I mode the roofing filter switches back to FL1 anytime I move SHIFT/WIDTH. It reverts to FC *.050 for SHIFT and will not change with the Shift Knob and the Width will not go lower than 600. I have tried setting them up following the instruction on page 34 with no sucess. Any replies direct. 73 Mike ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.

Re: [Elecraft] K3: Shift behaviour
Ok Ken, thanks, will go through later - maybe there are some other params to check. And reload FW :-) Thanks for now, 73!
