This may be too simplistic or doesn't address the OP as well as it could but... I do have an external 10M reference, a GPSDO and use that to keep the K3s in proper frequency adjustment. That said, the instructions in the K3 or K3s manual address how to zero beat a known frequency source

For CW, if radio is set to 7.040 then it will transmit a carrier on 7.040. If you tune to a station transmitting on 7.030 then your radio should also be at 7.039 and the P3 would show a spike on 7.030. The pitch of the audio is done in the receiver so you can make out the code. Otherwise you

You could be right. I'm out of town right now so I can't check it. But I think I remember that in some of the digital modes the definition of VFO A frequency is different. Alan N1AL On 2019-07-23 11:36, Joe Subich, W4TV wrote: > On 2019-07-23 12:47 PM, Alan Bloom wrote: > >> Also be aware

Thanks all! There's a ref cal on the K3s. I ran through the procedure for that using 15 MHz and rechecked on 10 MHz. Seems this was quite a bit off. Now, not only is it lining up on WWV but also any CW signal I select lines up very closely between the marker on the P3 and a 600 Hz marker on

Maybe that's the basic question... If I tune the radio to 7.035 to set a CW signal for a pitch of 600 Hz (as set using the PITCH function) what should I expect to see on the P3? 1) The P3 shows 7.035 and the CW signal is offset from the center by 600 Hz? 2) The P3 shows 7.035 and compensates

Re: [Elecraft] P3 Not Zeroed

Good advice. Also be aware that the center frequency differs depending on mode. For example, it is the supressed carrier frequency on SSB but is offset by typically 600 Hz on CW. I like to use AM mode for frequeny calibration. After doing a frequency calibration on the K3, tune to a signal

First make sure the radio is correct on all WWV frequencies. I use CW mode and Auto Spot. That will get to within 2 Hz or better. Adjust the Ref freq to calibrate. Then you can calibrate the P3 to the radio. No tuning or listening for zero beat required. Bob, K4TAX Sent from my iPhone

Hi Jim: I thought I had the right adjustment on the P3 but it seems global. I can't figure out why WWV can be spot on and then another signal off. I can't even be sure if it is the radio or the P3 (or me) at this point. I'll keep digging. Kev On Tue, Jul 23, 2019 at 3:57 AM Jim Brown wrote:

I noticed my P3 doesn't seem to be zeroed with the K3s. When I tune in a CW signal with a 600 Hz pitch the P3 is off by 71 Hz. Not much but, I expected - zero. In AM - WWV at 5 MHz the P3 seems spot on. 73, Kev N4TT __ Elecraft mailing
