Dana:
I had a problem w/ a chirp on one of my radios. It was a s/n 8xxx with the
old synthesizer. I first noticed "dead spots", primarily on 40 and 160.
These dead spots would be a specific point. There were several and they
were repeatable. I got some reports of bad chirps and figured out tha
It shouldn't really be a surprise, but a number of folks have extra KSYN3
boards after they upgraded to KSYN3A. I am sorting through the email
offers, but looks like I will have no trouble finding one.

The cause of my chirp is my K3SYN board; the intermittent nature was purely
related to what frequency I was on. Turns out when I was on 14044.74, plus
or minus a little, the chirp was there, even when I was transmitting at a
few watts out. I did the Config VCO Cal procedure Wayne mentioned, didn'
Let me give this another try. Anyone out there ever have an issue with a
CW Chirp from a K3? Mine seems to be intermittent, it's not always
present. I've got a spare K3, I guess I will drive out to the station and
swap out the one there now. If it's not the power supply, the only other

I love chirps, it reminds of the real good old days when I was young.
We used to be able to recognize station by their distinct chirp.
I heard one station in the recent FQP with one, the chirp give me a very
warm feeling.
I guess, it does not take much to make an old ham warm and happy.

It was reported today by several folks who heard my CW signal that I have a
bad chirp - I was operating on 20 meters during CWT. I listened to the
signal myself (my station is 80 miles away and I can listen on a local
transceiver). Someone also sent me a recording.
I've been using the same K3, K

Pete,
The synthesizer issues were frequency-dependent. So if you were using
computer logging for the QSOs when you had the chirp reports, check back for
the precise frequency, and tell Elecraft.

The power lead I use is the one supplied by Elecraft.

Measuring voltdrop at the supply i.e. 13.77v to 13.74v is irrelevant. Please
tell us what it is at the APP connector or screen (load end) please?
I had several of them and my K3 is back at Elecraft right now for service,
but they are not able to reproduce the problem. I know there is a mod for
ndeed.

I worked special Armed Forces Day station AAZ today as I transmitted on
14.050 and listened on 13.507. A guy emailed later that my signal
sounded "interesting" so I monitored it with a separate receiver and
sure enough it was chirping like my old Heath VF-1 VFO.

Just to close this subject maybe.
In addition to the chirp I found on my K3 on 3526 kHz I was told by others
(Bruce N1LN) that they had found chirp on 14030.5 kHz. Bruce cured it by adding
a resistor+capacitor to the Synth Board and load a specific f/w file and Bruce
