Re: [Elecraft] K3 Manual Error? Software error?
Lew, The manual is not correct. That has been pointed out before and will be corrected. 73, Don W3FPR On 2/27/2013 5:02 PM, Lewis Phelps wrote: I recently acquired a Kenwood MC-90 desk mic from a "for sale" list posted here.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Manual Error? Software error?
I asked this question awhile back as I need to turn off the additional mike gain and could not get it to work either. Elecraft replied that you needed to tap the [7] button as you found out and the manual was incorrect. So I guess we need to request that then get then next version of the manual updated. ~73 Don KD8NNU -.- -.. ---.. -. -. ..- -Original Message- From: Lewis Phelps Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2013 5:02 PM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net List Subject: [Elecraft] K3 Manual Error?

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Manual error
I found that too, but decided to wait until I have the rig before I asked questions that might be answered by having it in front of me. Also, KVDR3 will not be available until Nov anyway.

There is nothing on page 26 for this topic that I can see and I am not sure why the page 16 reference when you are on page 16 to begin with :-) There is another mention of page 26 in the section below it too. That was undoubtedly an error on my part...! We were inserting the page references late(!) Tuesday evening and just as early Wednesday morning, and I caught myself inadvertently referring a couple pages back to themselves. I thought(!) I'd managed to catch and fix the errors, but it looks like I allowed one (but hopefully not more) slip in. I'm sure I'm also to blame for the errant page 26 reference as well, but I have NO CLUE why it's there. Will have to check to see if I can find where it SHOULD have referenced, if at all. THANKS for reporting these errors. We'll use them to clean things up once a bit more of the dust settles.
