IIRC, when I installed mine I had to touch up the offsets a bit to get good
audio. Now it sounds good transmit and receive. Got the counter out and
touched up the HF freq, then did the 2 meter. Keyed up into dummy load and
dialed in the frequency that was on the display by changing the offset.

Hi Julie,
As a repeater coordinator of 40+ years experience, I would say that
it's -highly- unlikely that the deviation of any your local repeaters are
exceeding +/- 5kHZ. This has been the commercial and amateur
standard for decades.
Trivia: Florida's first repeater (Tampa) was built in my sho
NG5E wonders if Larry and I are new to using a VFO on the 2-meter band, but
that is not the case, and tuning does not seem to be the issue.
The Elecraft support staff (both Dale and Howard) have been quite attentive
and helpful. They have offered to check out the K3 in its entirety. We are

Mr. Royster et al,
I hope other readers of this topic will not be influenced by your ill founded
post, because you are accusing Elecraft of having a poor product, when those of
us who use the internal 2m modules know it is not true.
You are entitled to your opinion, but there is no solution to
Thanks Julie,
Strong and weak are then their audio levels? Given that you are
listening to the repeater output the RF carrier level should be the same
for some that are fine and some that are clipping. Are all the ones
clipping on the same repeater? Perhaps then strong means loud means

A defective FM filter for the K3 can be
1) Well off frequency and a loud station well into normal limiting will
"fill" the filter's skewed bandwidth, and present a badly distorted signal
to the following IF.
2) can have defective internal crystal mounts, or defective crystals.

Julie,
It does sound like you may have a bad 13 kHz filter installed - that is
only a guess.
Work with Elecraft support to get it resolved.
The external transverter will not help, I believe it has to do with your
FM filtering, and that will not change whether the transverter is

The filter in question is part of the radio, not the transverter. So yes, it
would use the same filter. You _may_ have a defective 13 KHz FM filter, or
it is not configured properly, or the FM Deviation para

Hi Larry,
Mine works fine with the local 2m repeaters. Based on my experience have
been telling those in my area it is a good option. Plus I used it with a
2m input transverter.
What is happening with your 2m transverter?

I have had no problems with the internal 2M transverter for the K3. It works

Although Elecraft personnel has been very helpful in trying to fix our
problem with 2 meter reception in our local repeaters, no solution has
been found. Until a solution is found, no one should purchase a K3 with
this option. Otherwise the K3 has been great up to now.
