One easy way to do that is to move the older files to a different folder.
Then point K3 Utility to that folder instead of the default and it will

If you see "ERR VCO" on VFO B after attempting a VCO CAL, it could

Just different wavelengths of the same thing, Brian.
Well, not quite. It doesn't get to be the same thing until AFTER the

After downloading 1.88/1.70 firmware, I have had problems.
First, I noticed that the receiver came and went on 40M. Then, I switched
to 20M and noticed a"ERR PL1" message and found that 20M receive was also
acting strange in the same way.
I looked up the "ERR PL1" code in trouble
I don't think there is any doubt that Elecraft will not satisfy everybody
until the transmit bandwidth is made fully customizable, just like the
receiver. I understand that this is also Elecraft's intention. It would seem
to make sense to have a CONFIG option that works just like the hi/lo cut for

I was going to suggest that, then I thought of the points Lyle made and
guessed that it wouldn't work. But if it works well enough for casual
listening and people are willing to a
Hi all,
I installed the latest firmware this morning but have only just got
around to testing. To be sure, I reset the radio and started the at the
beginning, calibration and all. Having done all of that I set

But then, maybe thieves are more sophisticated than I give them c
