K7MS was a KX3+KXPA100, the GOTA station alongside 2A K6NV, making about
300 GOTA QSOs, I think all SSB. I was in the main station and wasn't
allowed to use the GOTA station but the GOTA guys were all smiling.

I have all these spurious signals in my K3, too.
They are caused by my wireless router. But are the result of using wired

I've been playing around with 50 MHz USB/CW down at the low end of the band

category with some good operators. My CW station was

My local club decided to call off their FD plans, due to the bad WX in

call.
So, I set up

The initial frequency for CAL PLL is in the 12,960 to 12.990 range.
Your TP1 reading also says that the frequency the K2 is trying to tune

I have noticed that the RF gain on the Sub RX will often drop way down.
I recall it happens when the SUB RX is first engaged. But twisting the
