K3 - 5 Mhz Band

[Andrew Vine]

I find that I cannot access three of the UK 5MHz channels, FA, FB and FC
being 5,258.5, 5,278.5 and 5,288.5 KHz respectively.  Presumably they fall
outside the programmed 5MHz Band edges.

 

Does anyone know if there is a fix for this ?

Andrew, the lower band edge of my K3 is 5.150 MHz and the upper 5.420
MHz (PTT below/above that results in an "END" messge and no TX)... I
don't know why you would need a "fix". Is your K3 different? Mine has
the KBPF3 fitted, but I've checked the above with it disabled and it
works with/without the KBPF3 enabled.

I'm not quite sure what you mean here.  The VFO will tune continuously over
the whole HF range.  Are you saying you can't transmit on those frequencies?
I can't remember whether I had to open up the TX or not before I had qsos on
60m.  Given a sensible reason, Elecraft will supply a little bit of software
to remove the TX band limits.
