Audio On K3 (solved)

I feel like a idiot, Ted was right upper side band had flipped to lower side band. I guess that you always miss the obvious and make things too difficult when not needed. I need to find why it happened as 15 meter also had flipped. Thanks to all who gave suggestions, I placed those on my "When it don't work" list.

Re: Audio On K3 (solved)

Add me to the idiot group. I was operating from Kings county in
the California QSO party on 10M SSB. Someone responded to my CQ
and commented that I'd probably get more responses if I was
operating USB. Sure enough, I was in LSB. I Thanked him and
fixed the problem.

I think what had happened is that I had held a button instead of
pushing it and switched to lower sideband as a result.

I still sometimes forget to _read_ the front panel display. Not quite
the same as the old way of looking at a knob pointer! But the K3s is
certainly in a different league from those old rigs.

Years ago, right after I got my K3 [S/N 642], it quit working on 30
meters. No receive, infinite SWR on transmit, fine everywhere else.
Email conversation with support had me try several things to no avail so
they said they were going to escalate it, give them a time and number to
call. Phone rings, it's Wayne [this is NOT an "alternative fact" and
I'm not making it up {:-) ], the designer of the radio, and he called me!

"We'll get this fixed, let's start with the simple things," he said.
"Which antenna is selected on 30 meters?" It of course was ANT2, a
selection which is remembered by band and that had nothing connected to
the SO-239. Don't feel bad Buddy, we all do it.

Buddy,

If you are using a logging program with even a smidgen of rig control (band, mode, etc..) sometimes it can make ‘flip’ when you least expect it.

I have a logging APP that has flipped USB and LSB when clicking on a ‘spot’ that is displayed in the program.

This APP has also been known to lower the audio level (to barely being heard) when I shut the APP off before I shut down the rig. I’ve worked with Wayne on this one for a couple months with many things tried including beta firmware and on and on. It still does it occasionally, but less often than it used to. I’ve also worked with the programmers for the logging APP as well.

We’re all still scratching our heads on that anomaly.

73,

All it takes is a little too much pressure for too long on the "left" Mode button and you Reverse the Mode.

We've all done it - which is why Elecraft has included an option for
audible button feedback tones.

New users like Buddy may find it helpful to turn these tones on. 'Hold'
CONFIG to bring up the Configuration settings menu, and then rotate the
VFOB knob to find SW TONES. Rotate the VFOA knob to turn this option ON.
From now on, when you either Tap or Hold a button you will hear a
different pattern of feedback tones.

The Owner's Manual explains this in more detail - but it's deeply hidden
in the listing of CONFIG menu settings where no new user could possibly
be expected to find it. While I agree with Jim K9YC about the virtues of
"studying" user manuals, we should never make excuses for the
shortcomings of the manuals themselves.

In this particular case, the obvious place to mention the switch
feedback tones is very early in the manual, when explaining that vital
difference between a Tap and a Hold. And since these tones are intended
to be helpful for new users, isn't it curious that the factory default
setting is OFF?
