Audio on K3

louis a. ives
I powered up my K3 and discovered that the audio was very distorted.  It sounds as if everyone is off frequency and no amount of tuning will clear it up. I was using 20 meter SB and it is the same on all other frequencies except 2 meter.  I checked all settings that I use and nothing has changed. I had no problem the night before and problem was found on powering up the radio today. I also use KPA-500 and KTA-500 with this setup.  I also checked and it is the same on both receivers. This unit was sent to Elecraft to be checked over and aligned about 3 months ago and has been working great. This radio has had all updates installed.  Anybody have information on where to start looking for problem would greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Buddy, KJ4ZSI

Re: Audio on K3

Kidder, George
I have sometimes had similar problems.  Usually resolved by reloading
the latest configuration file - you did save one?

I find that sometimes I, or RF from my wifi keyboard/mouse,
accidentally enables RIT. Have you checked that RIT is not enabled?

A Long shot - -

Is the radio on "LSB" or "USB"?  If you're listening on 20m it should be in
the USB mode.  Is it?
