Re: [Elecraft] New problem switching frequencies and modes with K3 FW 4.05
Brian, Your suggestion was right on the mark. I must have accidently tapped option 5 under CW Weight. I now remember briefly looking at that setting when it was mentioned by someone last week on the reflector. All I had to do was tap 5 to set it back to VFO NOR. Thanks to everyone for your great responses. I really appreciate it. BTW, I received my P3 two days ago. All I can say is that it is one nice piece of engineering. Just another addition to the growing Elecraft legend! When can I order the KPA500?

Re: [Elecraft] New problem switching frequencies and modes with K3 FW
What is your setting for CONFIG:VFO OFS (see CONFIG:CW WGHT in the manual)? If you have CONFIG:VFO OFS turned on, the mode change between SSB and CW will cause the dial frequency to jump by the CW sidetone pitch. 73, Rich VE3KI N4QS wrote: > Just a few days ago I noticed that the K3 is not always changing to > the correct frequency.

Re: [Elecraft] New problem switching frequencies and modes with K3 FW 4.05
I believe this problem is caused by setting the CW WGHT option 5 to VFO OFS. Try setting it to VFO NOR and see if the problem goes away. I seem to recall having had problems like you are now experiencing when this option was introduced many versions ago. 73 de Brian/K3KO Dave Perry N4QS wrote: > My K3 (SN 3132) has been working happily in sync with DX4WIN and N1MM for > over a year now.

Re: [Elecraft] New problem switching frequencies and modes with K3 FW 4.05
Dave, Is there any chance that you are running PowerSDR/IF v 1.10.3.4? It would cause exactly that kind of frequency shift - even when the buttons on the K3 were used. The amount of shift was the CW pitch that was set in PowerSDR/IF. Upgrade to v1.10.3.5 to fix it. 73, Don W3FPR On 9/1/2010 6:32 PM, Dave Perry N4QS wrote: > My K3 (SN 3132) has been working happily in sync with DX4WIN and N1MM for > over a year now.

[Elecraft] New problem switching frequencies and modes with K3 FW 4.05
My K3 (SN 3132) has been working happily in sync with DX4WIN and N1MM for over a year now. Normally, when I double click on a spot within the DX spot window of DX4WIN, the K3 immediately changes to the correct spot frequency and mode. Same goes with N1MM. Just a few days ago I noticed that the K3 is not always changing to the correct frequency. The problem appears to occur when a spot causes a change in both frequency and mode. For example, if VFO A is set on 14.008.00 CW-R and I see a SSB spot for 14200.00, when I double click on the spot, the K3 changes to 14.199.42 instead of 14.200.00. Then if I click on a spot to go back to 14.008.00 the K3 changes to 14.008.58. In both instances I have to double click on the spot a second time to get it to change to the correct frequency. Note that the difference is +/- 0.58 kHz. The problem also occurs when switching from SSB to RTTY. It also seems to be occurring using both normal CW and CW-R. Last week I loaded the new 4.05 firmware. I am now wondering is this is a problem with the firmware. Or have I somehow changed a setting? The K3 worked perfectly for over a year. Something has changed. Any help would be appreciated.
