Consider re-calibrating the temperature sensors in your K3 before getting too alarmed about the readings.

Adjust the parameter to match the reading of a room thermometer. Note: Deg. C = (deg. Fahrenheit - 32) * 0.555. PA Temperature Sensor Turn the K3 OFF. Allow about 15 minutes for the PA heat sink to cool to room temperature. Do not turn the K3 ON during this period. Turn the K3 ON. Locate the CONFIG:PA TEMP menu entry. Adjust the parameter to match the reading of a room thermometer. Note: Deg. C = (deg. Fahrenheit - 32) * 0.555. 73, Paul W8TM ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
