My guess is the KPA3 board pins are not making contact. You need to check
to see if the pins are gold and not silver. If they are silver, that could
be the problem.

It is not likely that the ghost images are coming from the K3 itself, so

Has anyone compared the K3 internal current meter to an accurate external

I don't see it. Perhaps the firmware needs to be reloaded. Could have been

A quicker way to accomplish the same thing is to do a band change, then
change back. The K3 stores the current frequency and mode when the band

The K3 does store the current frequency after it has not been changed
