K3 #3212

Robert 'RC' Conley
My K3/10 #3212 is completed. No options were ordered or installed.
Only the 2.7khz filter is installed. I have a couples of issues.
I have done all the test and calibrations on page 65 on the assembly
manual. TWICE.
#1 I do not seem to have power out using SSB even though the W1 Meter says I do.
#2 It would seem that the "AF control"  in k3/10  #3212 for the main
RX (no sub RX) is non functional. Turning the knob has no effect. The
"HI" / "LO" settings in the CONFIG menu does function. In fact the
audio will disappear totally sometimes and the knob must be "wiggled"
to get it back. The RF control works just find in controlling the
volume levels.
Any help will be very much appreciated

sheet that came with the mic problem solved. It pays to RTFM.

Yep.  If the setscrew in the knob was tightened too tight the knob
will be cracked and won't rotate the shaft.  I had the same problem on
my factory built #806.
