Don't forget to do the TX gain cal, that gets wiped during EE INIT.
Then save the config.

Many thanks, EE-Init seems to have done the trick, if for no other
reason than it set default settings and restored the normal operation.
Loading my saved configuration, saved after the problem occurred,
created the same problem, no HI-Lo in SSB only on Data and AM.

Look in manual for “EE_Init”.
Is it set to Hi-Lo for SSB and Shift-Width for CW? If so, why change it?

sure that I should be able to change from shift-width to lo-hi by just a
tap of either knob, but it does nothing. Well it does work as expected
in Data and AM mode but not in CW or SSB. All other functions are normal

To turn it off, go to the CONFIG menu, CW WEIGHT and tap one of the number
keys. I don't recall which, but you can find it in the manual.
While you are on a band/mode/etc where the shift pot isn't working...
push and hold "shift", which is the "NORM" function which will reset
filtering to default... This may fix it. Just my SWAG.

Hi All,
My K3’s ‘SHIFT’ control no longer shifts. It stays at the CW pitch frequency
I’ve dialed up as indicated by “FC *0.44”, for example, when I turn the knob.
I had been setting up the rig for Field Day (taking out macros, etc.) when this
occurred.
This is happening in the CW mode. In

I was able to narrow down the problem. It is related to SYNC DATA
(CONFIG:SYNC DT) which forces the same crystal filter to be used for both RX
and TX. As long as SYNC DATA is OFF everything works as expected.
If SYNC DATA is ON:
(1) Toggling between SHIFT/WIDTH and LO/HI CUT is inhibited
(2)
SYNC DATA provides a very short turnaround time by disabling operations that
would require switching the synthesizer frequency between receive and transmit.
(This is analogous to CW QRQ mode.) If you have the new synth installed
(KSYN3A), the delays will be much shorter even with SYNC DATA
After a long pause I started to operate in PACTOR again. My K3 behaves
differently today compared to earlier firmware some years ago. Current FW is
MCU 05.14, FPF 01.19, DSP 02.83.
In DATA A mode:
(1) PITCH shows N/A, in contradiction to the user manual. Seems to be fixed
at 1500 Hz. That's fine

The 4 encoders to the left of the main tuning knob all have a notchy feel

Hi James,
As far as the noise when you turn shift/width, yes, I hear it too. I
assume it's the result of changing the DSP filter parameters. If done
while it's processing a strong signal it seems there's bound to be
some artifacts. I don't know if anything can be done to quiet them.

width knobs now, I get a fairly loud encoder
Hello All,
I built S/N 1354 from a kit , with FW 3.25 , I have

I operate digi modes some of the time and I need to

in the IF strip. It's been this way ever since I built
it. I'm not sure what I have setup wrong .

Hi Ken. You can save two unique filter setups using the NORM knob.
1. First, hold NORM to clear any shift to give you a good starting point.
2. Now set desired WIDTH and SHIFT the FC to where you want it.
3. Now do a LONG HOLD of the NORM knob till you see SAVE. Rotate the knob

Hey Folks,
I'm trying to determine whether an oddity I'm experiencing with the
DSP filter is unique to my K3, or might be a general firmware bug.
I'm using the beta 3.19 firmware, but have not tried it on earlier
versions to see if it's unique to 3.19.
I have the 13 kHz, 2.7 kHz, and 400
To me the current granularity with SHIFT/WIDTH (50 Hz) is fine. With LO/HI
it is 100Hz, which is too high for LO. Also, LO often changes from 0.00 to
0.20 in one step, and taking it to 0.10 takes an extra step. Seems like a
bug.
