In reply to this post by Dr. William J. Schmidt, II

I don't know how fast his internet is. A few days ago in Goose
Bay, Labrador, my download speed and response was so slow I
couldn't download a large email. The K3 manual is 13.1 megabyte,
over an order of magnitude larger than that email.

OTOH, I travel with the K3 manual, schematics etc. on my
computer. Now all I need is the K3 which is in California. :-)

Re: How's the RIT work?

Actually there's a "Web Res" version, for that purpose, which is
1.8Mb. There's an error on the website, it seems, where both versions
are marked "Web Res" - one of them is, I assume, supposed to be "Print
Res"... the difference (I'm assuming again) being lower-resolution
images, to make the file smaller...

Re: How's the RIT work?

I believe only the 1.8 MB version should be marked "Web Res", but then
that is only an assumption, I have not downloaded the 12.4 MB version.
ASFAIK the only difference between the two is the resolution in the
images. Since I have no intent to enlarge the images in the manual and
print them, the smaller download is adequate for me.

Re: How's the RIT work?

Bill's plight is a reminder to those who do go out in the field, if
possible, bring electronic documentation if you have a device that can
read a PDF... (smart phone, tablet, netbook, etc).

Re: How's the RIT work?

In reply to this post by Dr. William J. Schmidt, II

I assume the K3 rather than the KX3.

Simply tapping the RIT button should be sufficient to turn on RIT.
Initially the green LED will light (indicating zero offset), and then as
you rotate the RIT/XIT knob, one or the other of the yellow LEDs will
light indicating negative RIT offset or positive offset. The amount of
offset is indicated briefly in the VFO B area.
